May you be free from fear... May you be free from desire...
May you be blessed with unity... May you be blessed with peace...
May you be blessed with unity... May you be blessed with peace...
![]() Wonderful it is to train the mind, so swiftly moving seizing whatever it wants. Good it is to have a well-trained mind for a well-trained mind brings happiness. BUDDHA I have a wonderful spiral bound journal from Piccadilly Press... the one I'm using at the moment contains a quote/saying from Buddha on every page. There are other themes for other books... Mark Twain, Jesus, etc. Very nice. The quote above is from a page of the journal. If I find the quote to be particularly meaningful I also write it out, large and fun and stylish on the page. Today in a meeting I found myself writing it out again and drawn to it precisely because mind training seems to be something I need (everyone does) right now. The thoughts of work and people around work keep running a muck... it's a silly waste of time. So this little poem came to me in the moment... Curious thoughts Running wild Spinning round Circling down Shaping - shifting Swinging - swirling STOPPING... abruptly Dropping off Wandering Back and forth Until rejoined Again and Running wild Spinning round Circling down Shaping same Shifting more Swing and swirl Abrupt stop Hey There!! Breathe and Smile and Write DETOUR! Hey There! Detour to gratitude and grace! That is all for this wonderful mid August rainy Friday! Comments are closed.

Laurie Anne McCauleyDid that make you feel better? Intro
I decided back in November 2015 to make my poetry available and journal online. I'm not exactly sure what "blogging" means but I am quite sure this is an online journal. Feel free to read on with an aire of open minded curiosity. At no time do I intend to offend, judge or pretend to know anything really, I'm just an observer and explorer, as we all are. Feel free to "boldly go" through my observations and perhaps it will spark or inspire. Comments are off because I don't want to be worried about political correctness when I'm writing. I'm not thinking about "you." I'm just writing because it feels "right". Feel free to enjoy or surf on. LA McCauley Archives
