Cushion Wisdom
with Ann-Marie McKelvey
Be Discerning
In what parts of your body
Has the Outside World landed?
A reminder;
The Outside World
Is not you.
Be discerning.
Breathe out all that is not needed,
Breathe in all that is needed.

What arises?
Your Expiration Date
The gravestones
And Urns
Wait patiently
Knowing
Your expiration date
Is sooner
Than before.
The Friendly Unknown
There is much
To unpack
But luckily
I choose not to.
Instead
I keep traveling
Into the
Friendly Unknown.
Just for Today
Just for today
Let’s create
Unconditional friendliness
Towards ourselves and our home, Earth.
Just for today…just for today.
All Listening is…
All Listening is
Practice.
All Listening is
Practice.
All Listening is
Practice.
The Absence of Monkey Mind
Closing eyes,
Listen for the whisperings.
Where we go next
Memories do not follow.
In This Land of Impermanence
There is no conclusion.
No summary.
No ending.
Only an ever-changing
Continuum.
