Thoughts come and go and many of them are not really that helpful. The more we can observe this process and not get overly attached to our thoughts, the more they evolve naturally into more helpful ones. Today’s poem is about staying with the light and allowing thoughts to pass.

Kinder Calling

We are not are thoughts

We’re not our monkey minds

The mental battles fought

To ourselves we’re unkind

We are not our failings

Though we may oft berate

Our inner critics waling

They love our fragile states!

The light that’s in our eyes

The one our loved ones see

Speaks a truth more wise

Than any thought could be

So let us watch our thoughts

Observe our monkey minds

Without becoming caught

Let’s leave self-grief behind
