Mindful Mind-blowing Creativity
Zen Love by ana puig (Sept. 2025)
sing me a lullaby tonight
lay me down upon your lap
tell secrets that never left your lips
and watch me fall asleep, if for a while
dream me a dream of peace
in foreign lands -tell me that god is here
that we can still be free, inside
help me to find the blessings in the dark
reach out and touch the shadows
make me believe i can, even if
i’m afraid to die before i’m finished
carry with me the silence so i hear
my spirit tell the truth about my life
and help me let it be whatever it may want
let go be still listen and pray with me
make me an ice cream sundae
and sprinkle pixie dust on it
so I can taste the magic of this love
show me that I can live while I’m alive,
until i die. whenever. here. now.
Poem
Written collaboratively by mindful practitioners in 360 Mindfulness (Feb. 22, 2021). ana puig facilitated to bring forth this communal beauty.
In the summer, I am no bummer
Willow tree moving in the spring rain
I’m watching a cardinal fly by and reminds me of my brother
Water and sky blend with my sapphire inner peace
I am awaiting a precious diamond ring
We both felt gratitude
What a wasabi flavor!
The thoughts run through my mind and I am filled with empathy
A river flows within me and the new day brings peace and love
A spring quietly boils up
My heart leaps for joy
As I scream and dance with wild abandon- and run into the ocean,
Wearing my green diamond and the djembe drumbeat
Makes a continuous rhythmic sound of my heartbeat
On a sunny spring day in the dawn hours
Days start like the motion to hug someone and end with the sound of a t-rex roar
The cello so low reminds me of winter, remind me of sparrows
I will throw away the crutches I do not need.
