The ancient melodies seep through my soul
“Closing my eyes I type this poem blind”.
Its funny how Ive memorized this keyboard
Makes me want to deprogram
Ive been brainwashed for a very long time
As I listen to these ancient melodies
Seeping through my soul.

A Buddhist monk who studied and meditated on the teachings of Buddha for over a decade wanted to speak with an enlightened one who dwelled alone in a small temple high in the mountains. He prepared for his journey eager to hear his teaching. After 7 days of rigorous hiking he reached the temple.
The master greeted him and welcomed him inside. The master put some tea on to boil and they sat in silence. The monk became very eager and unsettled in not hearing his teaching. The master poured the tea and sat with the monk. The monk didn’t drink his tea and began questioning his master of Buddha.
The master replied.. “You have studied Buddhism for 20 years and can not simply enjoy this cup of tea?” The monk wept…. as another step to enlightenment lay under his feet….

Its a Mindful Morning,
I am so utterly blessed and thankful to be able to write; breathe and live my life as well as share. I am so very fortunate for everything that I have and the people I keep beside me with all of my heart. I want to bless the world today in as many ways as I possibly can; to tell you that you are loved and everything is going to be just fine; no matter where you are. In retrospect simply living in love; A very beautiful way to start my day as I type away and smile; feeling blessed.

I have been through the mud
And still like the lotus I rise
Every morning anew
And as free as a bird in the sky
Good morning world…
Nina
Just want to piece together more peace together.
Eat and sleep together; live and breathe together.
Loving is just so simple sometimes.
As simple as the next breath.
And meeting you was the first step.
To that easily in place; simply saying “I love you.”
Love and poetry…
They go hand in hand.
I do miss you as I write this and it keeps me calm.
Keeping a storm at bay in my soul.
Love Nina
