Thoughts Matter
by Marja Blom
When storms of restless thoughts surround you,
turn inward to the whisper of your breath.
The dark winds soften and dissolve,
and the world awakens, alive with wonder
peace flowing over your mind
like gentle waves on a sacred shore.
Paint your thoughts with love and care,
spill your soul’s ink in vibrant colours.
Imagine love, and love will rise
a warm breeze heavy with fragrance.
Imagine courage, and courage burns
a golden flame that splits the sky.
A smile will carve its light upon your face,
sending ripples through the vast universe.
Each thought, each tender action,
strikes the eternal drum of life.
Let that drum resound with love alone
its music will make our hearts sing.

ReplyDeleteReally a good start with your "storm of thoughts" handling. Treat them right and some will make hearts sing thinking of love. We all 'love' having those.

An aside, is the little village of container housed businesses still going in Christchurch? We were impressed by the efforts to get going again. That was in 2013.

DeleteA storm of thoughts is a good way to describe it. Sometimes I smile even if I don't mean it and it changes the chemistry for the better.
ReplyDeleteWe like to say words matter and they do but as you so aptly express it … before words come thoughts that shape our attitudes and lives, even our world.
