Connection

It is good that the body knows 

to go from room to room, 

task to task, 

whether that be 

reading a book or 

sweeping the floor 

for sometimes, 

just sometimes, 

the mind is not on 

the task of living. 

Seldom any reason, 

like a wayward child,

the mind seems to decide 

it will remain quiet, 

or worried and busy thinking 

all manner of thoughts about 

what ifs and should haves. 

In the meantime the body goes about 

making salad or doing the laundry or 

going for a walk always checking 

the calendar to make sure the mind 

does not lead the body astray.

“The mind and body are not separate. 

They are like two sides of the same coin.”

~ Eckhart Tolle
