With 2011 winding down and 2012 just around the corner,
consider these two questions:
What do I need or want to let go of as 2011 ends?
What do I want to create in 2012?
What do I want to let go of?
I'm letting go of a part of me, the one that people never see.
It's that loud and mean voice deep inside, the one I've tried my best to hide.
I have no need nor time for cruel words, the ones that should never be uttered or heard.
I forgive myself for telling lies, the ones that drove me crazy and made me cry.
I'm letting go of my monkey mind , the one that creates chaos and isn't kind.
I happily give up this part of me, the one that's kept who I am from being truly free.
What do I want to create?
More love and freedom. More stories and more dance.
More joy and jubilation. More connections and more romance.
More surprises and adventures. More strength and more movement.
More patience and presence. More experiences and more events.
More lightness and laughter. More silliness and more play.
More hope and honesty. More silence and more say.
More music and art. More goodness and more giving.
*The questions were a suggestion on Patti Digh's blog and the poems were submissions.
Patti Digh is the author of the bestselling book,
"Life is a verb: 37 Days to Wake Up, Be Mindful, and Live Intentionally"
What will my answer to these questions be???
How will you answer? Hmmm....
