The Joys of Living a Poetic Life

Poetry is a threat if there are things in your system that are very hard to face because poetry is about being open and being spiritually, mentally, and emotionally well. A poetic life may mean sacrificing material overabundance, otherwise known as clutter, but you always sacrifice something, and to us, it's worth it.

Poetry is about consciousness and the pleasures of art. Other art forms can provide a bridge to your poetic self, if there are obstacles that need to be overcome. Yoga reestablishes and retrains breathing when parts of your natural self have been suppressed by a civilization that does not find those parts supportive of its values.

Monkey Wallet and Second Breakfast

Right now I want, an eclair and a coffee. I already had  tea with double cream and a croissant with agave syrup for breakfast, but like the Hobbits, I'm ready for second-breakfast.. My question is: do I indulge my desire or not? Is it a masterpiece of hedonistic independence or a distraction and evasion of work, an embodiment of the monkey mind, or in this case--monkey appetite"?Anybody with a strong mind body connection may encounter this form of the monkey-mind, may even feel, as I so palpably have felt many times during a week, the physical desire to bound up the walls, hang, swinging from the upper, horizontal frame of a door, or, less alarmingly and more accessibly, just jump up an down on some strong, invisible spring, in place. The phenomenon may also take the form of the "monkey-wallet". I, obviously, can't wait for an answer from my readers and will proceed to the pastry department of my nearest IGA for half-priced eclairs.

For $2.10 I made Monkey Appetite happy and saved Monkey Wallet .

  1. Love it! Maybe you could specialise in budget hedonism - how to satiate monkey needs in a harmless manner.. A lot of us could benefit from that.. a lot of people have forgotten how to enjoy small simple pleasures but with the gfc it's time to remember!

  2. Thank you, Alina! There's a lot of monkeying around to be done within a small budget, happily!
