Moo


 
We moved 

To overcome

Frames

Stale and hardened


 
We mooed

Crossing over

Grassy fields

Verdant minds


 
We mowed

Sharp shears

Breaking through

Rigid thoughts


 
We mooed 

As we moved 

On mowed 

Open spaces








Carmela 
 True happiness is a state of mind.
Happiness is not a consequence of things that happen. 
Do not pursue happiness - practice it. 
Sing, even if you do not sound good. 
Smile, even when things go wrong. 
Create happiness, and happy you will be.

Thank you dear Lisa! Can't wait to see you this week.Folks, here is the invitation again.Dear friends,It's time to try poetry on the oslist again.Harrison's first book about open space was NOT about the methodology. It was about the ways that people change their view of themselves and the world.He said we can "cross the open space" - from one understanding of ourselves and the world - into a new one. Later we learned that OST can help us do this, both individually and collectively!Have you experienced this in your life? Crossing from one understanding to another? Watching others do it? Using OST or not? What was the story?Will you write a short poem about it?Rules: 33 words or less. Any form is fine, rhyme or not rhyme, any language*. "When crossing open space..." is one way to get started, choose your way. This paragraph is 33 words.The poetry celebration will run until June 21 - and then we can choose a poet to be Laureate of the list for a while.Please post your poem to the oslist. (Unless you want to send it to me only, so I'll post it without your name.) Have fun reading and writing!Jeff

You may notice that I like writing poems. Whether or nor they are 'good' poems doesn't matter so much. I invite you to write one! About this topic we love so much.Here's a poem about writing a poem:Anyone can write a poem
By opening two red doors.
Capture a moment that opened your heart:
Describe that red ripe tomato, the first you ever grew, then
Eat it! and let the red seedy juice spill down on the page
For us;
Grab a napkin and laugh.
