Three Sages

January 2007.  I made a visit to Green Mountain at Fox Run for a Mindfulness Retreat; and my first happy—OK—hopeful poem emerged. 

Three Sages

Three sages wait

At the top of the mountain

Their roots are strong-

Their energy flows through them
They extend their energy to those
Around them.

We are broken

We are hurt
We are angry
We are unloved
We are tired
We have no energy

The sages say

Listen to your breathing

Listen to your heart
Listen to your body
Love your body for what you can do
Love yourself
Love others

We see sunlight and blue skies

And we say

We are healing

And the sages smile
