'Like A Flower 10/10/09 Poem by Margaret Alice
'Like A Flower 10/10/09
Stared at beautiful orchids this morning
my heart opening up like a flower, fear
and stress fell away, my silence at home
is appreciated, life is still safe, withdrawal
is me-time, mother is fine, I shall concen-
trate until I conquer my document, face
into my problems like a true soldier
My little problems supply me with a cross
so that my loved ones are safe, I prefer
being an outcast to popularity, it is a great
learning experience, I find joy and beauty
where others find none, tonight I shall
meditate on lists and Dutch legal terms
until the fear and depression subside

Margaret, worry and fear are such wasteful emotions, we either worry about something that happened or fear whats might come, both spoil our present moment. When you noticed the beauty of the orchid all fear and stress fell away, that was because you where seeing what was happening now.. Life for all of us is only possible in the present. Throughout your day practise returning to the present, notice whats around you, leave your thoughts behind. You will be a happier person. You write beautiful poetry which must come from a beautiful heart. Warm regards Bob
