If you can handle ten, then handle five

You must always work

not just within but below your means.




If you can handle three elements,

handle only two.


If you can handle ten,

then handle five.




In that way

the ones you do handle,

you handle

with more ease, more mastery


and you create a feeling of strength in reserve.







Pablo Picasso

Doing things, and not being imbued

Light, gentle drops of rain.

Freshness has come near.

Do

with no conclusion.

Thoughts gradually subside 

.

.

.

Quiet and quiet.

Bright and bright.

I am a believer

I am born 

with believing mind.

I decide,

and

am not swayed

by any circumstances.

Brilliant morning sunshine.

The Wind coming from somewhere

Kind smiles.

I know that I am free

Silently

I stop

while releasing tension.

The evening song of birds.

The sound of bell ringing deeply.

I am free from fear.

I am free from worries.

I am free from anger.

I am free from discomfort.

I know that I am free.

Like this,

I touch

this beautiful planet,

this beautiful life.

Fully present

One step

with our mind empty.

One word

with our mind empty.

A flower blooms on the earth

with every step we make,

with every word we say.

Deep and softly warm

Morning star light

coming through a window.

Shining surprise gifts.

A dazzling world unfolding before my eyes.

Things are all

silent,

kind and tender




.



.





.

I close my eyes

with my hands together


in tender light

.


.


.





Deep and softly warm days









Thank you.

Selflessly

Be

still

in the midst of innumerable twinkling.

Serenely and peacefully

.

.

.

A soothing morning breeze

enfolding my face






.

Johanna Tagada  2016

Simple

The season is coloured with orange light.

The rhythm of the birds flying low in a flock

in the leisurely morning sunshine.

A cloud floating.

No haste.

No complication.

A beautiful world.

Right and restful

A big leaf

descending from the sky,

floating gently on the breeze.

Days unfold

with sweetness.
