Oh Nick ! .. i've just enjoyed another eight minutes of tranquility. What is it about your voice, your manner, that sets me at ease... even to sit quietly for a period after you finished, to ponder over your thoughts and words.
There is a magic .....

Thank you Paul - your poem is beautiful, affirming and helpful. Like Max after his mythic adventure, I find myself in my bedroom, my cup of tea on the table, still warm :)
Nemaste - Thank you. Bless you Nick for being such a social person, such a special social person.
You are quiet. gentle & (g)listening...
You are present in your absence
Never absent in your presence
Your monk guides you, glides you
Beside your path, there are monsters
Bumbling ferocious creatures
Addicted to gatherings of the flesh
Like Max, you quell their swell
Letting their air subside
Into pieces of the jigsaw
Designed by time
Immemorial...
