Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 A poem: Before I Was Enlightened Before I was enlightened I enjoyed watching the sun set Behind the ocean, The relaxation of a hot bath, The sound of a well-tuned engine. I enjoyed the inner quiet during my meditation, The taste of hot green tea, The soothing warmth of oatmeal in the morning. I enjoyed a funny story, The sound of the Sunday paper Hitting the porch. The fresh scent of newly laundered clothes, And the laughter of children. After I was enlightened, I enjoyed watching the sun set Behind the ocean, The relaxation of a hot bath, The sound of a well-tuned engine. I enjoyed the inner quiet during my meditation, The taste of hot green tea, The soothing warmth of oatmeal in the morning. I enjoyed a funny story, The sound of the Sunday paper Hitting the porch. The fresh scent of newly laundered clothes, And the laughter of children. Peace, (or anxiety, as you prefer.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
