Mindfulness (Mind Fullness=emptiness)

This succinct reflective free verse takes a humor-laced look at the process of meditation.

I sit to meditate

and inquisitive squirrels of thought

quench curiosity by

scampering in circles-

until they drop.

    Awesome. Rumi often speaks of being at his fullest when he is completely empty. I like how your poem taps into this.

    Thank you JLC! Rumi is one of my favorite poets….and Hafiz….
