Poem for the week: "The Monkey Mind"

 

The Monkey Mind

 I saw the change in her

as she worked on her jigsaw

puzzle of the new suspension

bridge spanning the Nipigon

River in our old hometown,

quietly stealing down in the

middle of the night to the

sunroom with the cozy fire

still burning, giving her sweet

satisfaction with each new

piece that fit into her puzzle;

and I was delighted with the

change I saw in her, the same

effect that meditation has on

those who practice TM to calm

the monkey mind and soothe

the weary soul.
