Sweeping


i wondered if i had a physical job to  balance contemplation with.  I was a slow learner. I had to sweep the castle, the yard, the balcony, the front and back steps.  I would have to sweep every day, and it was completely acceptable to contemplate while I swept.  Actually, contemplation during sweeping was encouraged, until I learned to meditate better.  jgp

It is a beautiful job, but it is so hard.
Internal martial arts 
Visible to few
Exhaustion the worst effect
time just goes away
night is day all the time.
Beauty is nice and good
but it is heavy
it wants, it deserves
there is not enough attention
but i give you heart and soul and
I know
You know.
