This Perfect Day




(New to the series, Cannabis and Creative Cognition.  Ref: Leafly West Coast Sour Diesel)

Just contemplate
each perfect day:
     accepting
          all it gives.
Let your thought
roll thoroughly over
bumps, or slights,
     hatefulness,
          and stupidity.

Hear the singing
in the air:
     looking through
          the lens of love,
colours seem much brighter.
Let the splash of joy
cleanse your heart
     making sorrow
          a dimming memory.

Throb with the vibration
of unknown realms,
     the mystery
          that is beauty.
Let your senses blossom,
and your spirit soar,
as horizons expand
     neverending;
          Mandelbrot rules supreme.

Just contemplate
each perfect day:
     embrace the here and now,
          alert to all
within our sphere,
as well as all beyond.
No gods dancing
     across an angry sky:
          only peace, and you, and I.

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
