We say less is more Simplicity is easy Pare down your mind too Create, allow to fester Open crevices…release! Poem by ZenHens. Susan, Debbie, and Wendy #simplicity#release

Spring is a time for savoring For soul openings and spirits playing Old complaints we’ll not be favoring Spring is a time for savoring Standing in the wind and swaying Birds and bulbs we will be favoring Spring is it time for savoring For soul openings and spirits playing #spring#triolet#spirit

You feel it before you see it Tugging firmly, dancing wide You could choose to go, to hide Instead step into Wondrous flow Feel your soul-self Sigh…and grow. # soul#flow#courage

Birdsong Fills trees, sky, and my heart Nature knows how this confused pilgrim requires arousal So here is Her direction: Awaken! #spring#Nature#

Tentatively perching While the regulars are lurching In and away with a seed New bird not ready to feed. Like me, watching and waiting… Hesitating. But the bird will jump in soon Because it’s survival is on the line. As is mine. #bird#survival#lesson

Without a dream, nothing begins Everything starts with a breath But proceed with belief in vision Without a dream, nothing begins Instinct is everything… But proceed with belief in vision Dream it into being. By Zenhens #dream#vision#instinct

Remember to practice… A considering break, A thoughtful interlude, An inquisitive meandering Silent awareness Intense noticing Openness Deep appreciation Letting go Judging not #letting go#nurturing#appreciating
