Before & After Gaia

I'm just back from a 2 night break at the Gaia retreat & spa and I have a lot to write about.

But for now, here are two poems. I copied Elizabeth Gilbert who wrote two poems at the beginning and end of her stay at an ashram in India. The first poem I wrote a few nights before I left. The second poem came to me during a yoga session on the final morning.

                                                                         ------

Worried, Blocked, Tight, Anxious
Blob, blah, tired, fat
Slow, bulge, Me, ugh
My Tom, My Tom, me

Lost, Confused
Pushing for an answer
Don't want to be away
Never think of anything else

If only, one day
Abstract dreams
Today down, today eat

                                                                          -------


I am here
Nurture me
Love me
I will come back

I am Light
I am Love
I am worthy

I am here
Nurture me
Care for me
I will come back
