Remember


Thought I'd send you the poem that came to me in the middle of the night as the result of the Circle that was held here yesterday.

I think I experienced every conceivable emotion... but somehow feel neutral, balanced and quite grateful for the event and the lessons in it.

I have no doubt that more circle will be held here, as the need is great ... and I hold a deep respect for this work.

Remember to love
Remember to breathe
Remember the joy of a warm ocean breeze.
Recognize suffering
Recognize pain
Remember there’s no point in cursing the rain.
Laugh with the children
and share all your love
respect all the wisdom of the heavens above.
Let go of ego
and grasping, despair
soak up the mist of the crisp morning air.
Play with the dolphins
and sing with the birds
be aware of your thoughts
choose your words.
Aim to be peaceful
inside and out
Always laugh, never shout.
Listen to thoughts
and if they’re dark
choose to turn them around quick smart.
find time to be still
relaxed and quiet
in the chaos of day
and the peace of the night.
Never forget
that nothing’s forever
and if all else fails
remember... remember.
