Creativity, journalling, poetry, drawing or any number of creative endeavours are or can be powerful ways to integrate right and left, upstairs and downstairs parts of the brain.  Today I played with a poem to the roller coaster of moments, days and life in all it’s cruel, crazy, beauty.  Take a read.  I hope you enjoy and perhaps it inspires you to use a spare moment in a queue or waiting for a meeting or even in the bathroom to jot down a few ideas of how your life looks like through creative eyes.

Life! Racing, Calm, Joyful, Erratic

Defend, Resist, Fight

Pause.

Relax, Dissolve,

Surrender

Discover

Open. Breathe. Bliss.

Beep!

Distracted, Reply, Absorbed,

 Next,

Move on,

Do, Doing.

Clock!

Rush, Monitor, Gauge

Panic!

Agitate, Focus

This, This,
That,

This

Tension, Pressure,

Control!

Notice.

Breathe. Stillness.
Exhale.

Let go

Be present.

Again

Calm, Joyful

Erratic

Life!
