Especially in these uncertain times we can stay present, keep seeing the  perfection and uniqueness of each moment and experience;  and use our minds to remind us of good times, and to take us to places where we experience tranquility and clear our minds again.  Baba Muktananda, a renowned yoga master, said:”Your mind can be your worst enemy or your best friend.”  Poems in this episode are inspired by our recent trip to New Zealand's Sub-Antartic Islands, Florida's South West Shore and Grand Cypress Park,  and the Blue Moon in October 2020.

The Arhuaco people of northern Colombia gave Tenzin Priyadashi, the author of Running Toward Mystery, the gift of strands of agave fiber woven together into a bracelet.  This represents the web that we are all part of, with mother earth and each other. The poems explore :Each action, each word has an impact somewhere in this fabric. We cannot wait for Elections to be done, Covid contained and we once again weave a fabric of respect, protection and caring.  Lift your spirits like an eagle soaring with the wind, high above the turbulence.

When poetry speaks to me it reveals and uncovers the truth. So I have to honestly write poetry from my heart as well as my mind and reveal what is my truth.  Politics and democracy in America are going through a tough time.  I want goodness, unity, compassion and morality to win - however for our own peace of mind we can get ready to FORGIVE and get ready to move forward into the future no matter what happens in this cosmic game.

 It’s been over 6 months since the Pandemic has been acknowledged, and for many people life has become increasingly difficult.  Where you focus your mind creates emotions. Emotions move you to action. now is a good time to refocus, clarify your purpose, use all your talents and find more joy.  We hope this podcast helps you move along this path.  2 of the GOOD people featured in a poem are RBG and Mr. Rogers.  Poems are:  KARMA YOGA, GOODNESS & GOOD PEOPLE, TURTLE MOVING SERVICE!

After about 6 months of the Pandemic, It is 16th of September, and it’s been an epic 2 weeks of pandemonium in politics, Covid, wild fires and hurricanes that have distracted me from creating uplifting and slightly humorous poetry.   With some help from inspiring thinkers and doers I hope my turnaround has come.
