dearest jean-marc,
I love it when you use a minimum of words to express a maximum of truth
I could learn a lot from you, would I only listen ...
being able to concentrate one's thoughts into the essential, is being able to concentrate upon the essential in life, and to return to one's essence without effort.
you have shown us a mirror here, a mirror that reflects our minds that are usually overloaded and complicated ... a brief and efficient reminder of how simple things are.
some other poets in this contest have also mastered this art, and I am very touched by all this wisdom that continues to flow in in the form of som many exceptional poems.
many heartfelt blessings, my dear
maa

A beautifully stated equation of Truth, jean-marc. Peace is the stillness within the wildest motion, the essential balance within all being, the joy within Awareness. My much wordier statement of this truth was penned in these poems;

Your piece is an excellently succinct statement of a simple truth.
Shine on brightly, brother.

By weighty, I am speaking of substance..something substantial, wisdom. I meant this as a highest compliment. Your sister-in-law, Belle

hello blayde, thank you for your comment and remarks. well noted concerning the attachment to the thinking process. that's really the point! nice to meet you here, and also to have seen your beautiful hat on your welcome page.

thank you, belle, for your comment. finally, less we have, more we are. that might be the weight you are speaking about.

thank you, ankeeta! yes, up to the point... a short way to nowhere

Elemental beauty. The root of suffering released through the mind’s inner peace. There is too much doing and too much thinking, not that thinking is bad it is just that people are attached to ideas, as in the president of this America that I live in. Too much thinking about money and material. Eloquent poem!
