Poetry 141: The Practice

The Practice
 

Every deliberate step

I take,

loosens the firm grip

on a piece of

me that no longer

serves.


Every breath

I take, releases

the disembodied

parts of me that

no longer sustain.


Every time I sit

for more than

a minute--in that

precious posture of

integrity--

I let go of my-Self

for at least

one minute more.


I may never

truly know

the experience

of emptiness, but I
can continue to

empty my cup.


That’s the

practice.
 
-Me
