Monkey Mind

In the meditation side of yoga, we have something that we like to call monkey mind where we can't quiet the mind.  Imagine a monkey swinging from vine to vine to vine to.....ok you get the picture.  Well it's been a combination of writer's block/monkey mind and being off the grid for a week that I haven't written.  so I thought I would share some words of wisdom.  Be back in form soon.  Blessings...and just breath.

It is I who must begin 

It is I who must begin.

Once I begin, once I try --

here and now,

right where I am,

not excusing myself

by saying things

would be easier elsewhere,

without grand speeches and

ostentatious gestures,

but all the more persistently

-- to live in harmony

with the "voice of Being," as I

understand it within myself

-- as soon as I begin that,

I suddenly discover,

to my surprise, that

I am neither the only one,

nor the first,

nor the most important one

to have set out

upon that road.

Whether all is really lost

or not depends entirely on

whether or not I am lost.
