In silence, stillness emerges.
Quietude flows.
Nature
Peaks.
Open your heart
Bold and
Meek.
The Divine One
Listens–
Speaks.

J. Patrick Lewis has challenged us to write a zeno this month. What's a zeno, you ask? Click HERE for details.
To join in the fun, send yours to TodaysLittleDitty (at) gmail (dot) com, or use the contact form in the sidebar to the right. All zenos will be included in the wrap-up celebration on October 31st, and one lucky participant will win a copy of Pat's gorgeous, new, "best of" collection:
This is lovely, Carol, calming & slow.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I am so grateful for an opportunity to extend my writing and find the words to lead me on this writer's journey. Thank you for commenting.
DeleteI love the gentleness of this zeno, Carol. It has a quiet, soothing tone and I love that it makes me stop and listen.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, thank you for the opportunity to showcase my first attempt at a zeno. I am eager to try another one.
DeleteLovely, just what I needed today!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah, for your comment about my poem.
DeleteWow, Carol. This is such a playful form. I was not expecting a meditative poem -- beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCarol, I love your reflective zeno. I guess because our model was J. Patrick Lewis, my zenos were more playful. But I love how adaptable the form is to even a contemplative poem.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Carol. It is really does sound calm.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a peaceful meditation. Thanks, Carol.
