I just had a very ZEN moment here.
Now for a cup of green tea and to drink slowly with this peace inside so as not to disturb but to savory.
Have a wonderful week end.

I can hear the windchimes and feel the bamboo mat beneath me. Very nice way to deal with the theme and not make it feel like the theme, if that makes any sense!
🙂 you can feel it- good for you..
I hear you and feel the peace, this is a nice soft poem
tq kodjo..
I love this.
Terrific blog, too.
thanks thingy..
Your words are very soothing at the end of a long day.

Reminds me of my home fiveloaf.
Thanks.
your home is where sanity unwinds from the chaos of the outside..
ok 🙂 as you say
haha- enter please.. the 3 steps to peace and a healthy mind and body..
a simple and very personal spiritual ritual can bring the soul a long way… great piece
tq tuffi
I like the Wash, Rest, Feel, polite commands, but expressed gently
I like the time progression…Before, When, After
Keeps it all flowing. Thanks for sharing.
wow dan! you really broke it up into pieces- like the way you studied my concepts and you did it well..
Interesting how the rules and regulations in your poem actually create an ordered sense of peace. :O)
thanks meg..
🙂 It reminds me off an I Ching card.
thanks ziibi
mmm it sounds lovely, the perfect place to rest our weary souls…
its a 3 step approach to god..
It is interesting how you almost show emotions such as feeling peaceful being forced instead of just being felt.
thanks mstevensson
I really found the simplicity here enticing fiveloaf. Nice and tranquil, a piece of taciturn silence.
outer court, inner court, holy of holies. the rituals to enter gods sanctuary..
Stunningly beautiful
