[hometext] => This poem is about todays anxiety compulsions addictions and attempts to ameliorate with mindfulness andcompassion
[bodytext] => I want to run away into the web and douse my anxieties with compulsive and addictive surfing of google news, dailymail, huffingtonpost.
Anything to keep me from facing my anxieties. Except now I am trying to face them here using mindfulness approaches. Breathing in and out, slowly, breathing in and out. Acknowledging my addictive compulsive avoidance and self sabotaging. Asking God's Holy Spirit to guide me, to comfort me, to help me learn to extend compassion to my fearful inner self, my angry resentful inner child. Breathing in and out, slolwy noticing the sensation of my breath at the tip of my nostril as I breathe in and out. Trying to breathe while I note my resistance , my reluctance to engage. Thinking of the inner child like I do with my own kids. trying to be as compassionate with myself as I am towards my boys. Jesus stepped forward into the Garden of Gethsemane acknowledging his reluctance but moving forward mindfully, courageously because of his great compassion for us all. Jesus could have thrown the book at us but didn't. Help me to be as compassionate with my fears and my resentment as Jesus has been with us. Help me to forgive myself instead of screeching at myself. God help my unbelief. Will try to walk mindfully to burn off some anxiety. Help me to compassionate with myself, my colleagues, my patients.

| It's pretty good. A word of advice, try to avoid common phrases as much as possible. They tend to weaken your writing. |

| just a word of advice im no pro myself but i like to hear constructive criticism from anyone, it comes across like you are trying to use all these big words and be smart or something, sometimes the best poetry just comes from the heart, which is more complex than any words that can strung together in a sentence |

Welcome to YPDC.
The mesage come thru loud and clear.
Very humbling write.
It reminds us that no matter who we are we're only human.
Good prayer, something we all should remember.
Big blessings,
emy |
