We practice letting go difficulties or unwanted feelings with stillness or staying still instead of needing to “fix” things through this mindfulness meditation.
Expectation Poem, Sue Ellson
To accept or expect
That is the question
To live in the moment
Or demand attention
The weather forecast
May be right or wrong
But the seasons keep changing
To help us stay strong
We can choose to strive
To seek and not to yield
Or we can just be love
And simply open the field
For it is in the surrender
That we lose the addiction
And find ourselves
In a place without friction
The pursuit of happiness
Has too many highs and lows
The peace of contentment
Allows us to enjoy life’s flows
When I think of love
It is often a chase
But it is time right now
To leave that race
For when I feel in my heart
The love is there
From a smile or a touch
Or a show of care
To believe takes faith
And a loss of control
But that is when serendipity
Starts to play its role
And then it happens
When you open your eyes
To see what is already there
And you finally realise
It is there in full view
But not how you expect
So love what you have
And treat it with respect
