'Word Poems' from the Labyrinth

 These poems are written by each of us at our weekly gathering contributing a word - and then as a group, we make a poem of them.  We do 2 poems a week - one for each of the two blackboards in the Labyrinth.    15 October 2021 Freedom, breath, soul: Blue dress rocks. Kerry returns!!! Peace Walking mindfully. 22 October 2021 The day blind stars Laughed with whimsy glee To see the lavender grey potato winking. From winter’s ashes Distant thunder augers Emerging possibilities - Sunshine, soothing breeze…. 9 October 2021 Intimacy Like soil enrichment with kelp Heartfelt delight Harvest broom Sweeps the serrated leaves To circle the rock Grateful 5 November 2021 Birthdays: Sensitive to variety and ease: The magnificence of joy The mystery comforts. Crunch Crayons unfolding the humble dimensions of life To find love and gratitude. (in honor of Larysa’s vibrant crayon drawing) 19 November 2021 Contentment: Blue wren in the egg of life Contem

Contentment

  20 November 2021 Contentment Contentment: wanting and needing nothing more than a connection to life A space where we can truly open to what is Or perhaps just an inner peace that brings a gentle smile? Can contentment in life become our goal, A keystone around which to structure our day? We are all completely different in every possible way, How we see the same scene, what we value and treasure, How we reason, how we spend our time and energy, What we love, what we hate, what we fear………. And how we experience contentment. Despite all these differences Is there a magic to contentment in whatever form we experience it? Can it be a link to the energy that unites mankind, nature and the universe in mysterious ways? In these confused, troubles and rapidly changing times, Perhaps we can all let go as best we can , And choose to be content with what we have, - seeking nothing more And let the soft opening that

Approaching my Ending

  23 July 2021 Approaching my End ing Again, that word ‘ending’ and the fear that it brings to me: I think ‘end ing ’, I write ‘end ing ’ and I feel the darkness descend. And yet, life is but a series of endings, and will always be so Why should I so fear my final ending as a horror I cannot transcend? I want to believe that our world was created as a place of fun and joy, Where we can explore our curiosity and creativity as we joyfully grow In appreciation and connection to the beauty and complexity of life itself. With my end nearing, is it time be honest and open my eyes to life as a place of woe? I find it impossible to think of endings as anything to do with fun and play, While my fear of endings destroys the curiosity

Harmony, Hubris, Fear – and Contentment

  4 J une 2021 Harmony, Hubris, Fear – and Contentment Harmony is uniting and coming together to create and celebrate our connections, And recognising that our seemingly disparate world is in reality a balanced whole. We sense harmony in music when notes magically combine to enrich the overall sound Similarly, as I learn to focus on harmony in everyday life, it will truly enrich my soul. Should the creating and honouring of harmonies be an important goal our lives ? Instead of focusing on fostering and nurturing our solitary selves, Is it more healing to focus on connecting and uniting with all other beings, And the totality o f nature, past, present and future, even elves For as we reach beyond the limits of our narrow perceptions, And open to the universal harmonies that stretch across space and time W e will discover the hubris and fears that work to keep harmony from s ight A s if
