The balloons

I imagined last Monday, straight after waking up

that there was a huge balloon of peace in my room

And guess what! There was a tremendous amount of peace

 

I loved the peace, I wanted it to stay forever, but then 

a frustrating thought from the previous day entered my mind

and like a needle it punctured my balloon of peace

 

        And peace was gone

 

I imagined last Tuesday, straight after waking up

that there was a huge balloon of love in my room

Tender love! There was a tremendous amount of love.

 

I loved the love, I wanted it to stay forever, but then

a thought of anger from the previous day entered my mind

and like a needle it punctured my balloon of love

        And love was gone

I imagined last Wednesday, straight after waking up

that there was a huge balloon of beauty in my room

Fascinating beauty, there was a tremendous amount of beauty

I loved the beauty and wanted it to stay forever, but then

a thought of disappointment from the previous day entered my mind

and like a needle it punctured my balloon of beauty

 

        And the beauty was gone

I imagined last Thursday, yesterday, straight after waking up

that there was a huge balloon of creativity in my room

Amazing creativity, there was a tremendous amount of creativity.

I loved the creativity and wanted it to stay forever, but then

A thought of strife, from the previous day entered my mind

and like a needle it punctured my balloon of creativity

        And creativity was gone

Today is Friday and without having to imagine, I know 

how much peace, how much love, how much beauty, 

how much creativity is surrounding me in the morning.

Needle-like thoughts of frustration, anger, disappointment and strife

will make them disappear like bursting balloons. 

I have decided to not think such thoughts and keep 

the peace, the love, the beauty, the creativity, all,

for a bit longer today, at least until noon. :)

Let us all keep the peace and love of the morning

the beauty and creativity, at least until noon...
