Tranquility: A Lesson from a Poem

Good day, dear friends. Today, I’d like to share a story from my past, a tale that taught me the true essence of tranquility. It’s a story about the time I wrote a poem, a simple act that became a profound lesson. So, sit back, relax, and let’s embark on this journey together.

The Setting

It was a typical summer afternoon, the kind where the sun’s rays gently caress the earth, and the air is filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers. I found myself sitting under the shade of an old oak tree, a blank piece of paper in my hand, and a pen poised to write.

The Challenge

My task was simple: to write a poem. But as the minutes turned into hours, I found myself struggling. The words just wouldn’t come. I was searching for inspiration, for that spark of creativity, but all I found was frustration.

The Revelation

And then, it hit me. I was so focused on the task at hand, so consumed by the need to write something profound and meaningful, that I had lost sight of the world around me. I had forgotten to simply be.

So, I put down my pen, leaned back against the tree, and closed my eyes. I listened to the rustling of the leaves, the chirping of the birds, the gentle whisper of the wind. I felt the warmth of the sun on my skin, the coolness of the grass beneath me. I breathed in the scent of the earth, the fragrance of the flowers.

The Poem

And then, without even thinking about it, I picked up my pen and began to write. The words flowed freely, effortlessly. I wrote about the beauty of the world around me, the peace and tranquility I felt in that moment. And when I was done, I realized that I had written the most beautiful poem I had ever written.

The Lesson

That day, I learned a valuable lesson. Tranquility is not something you can force or manufacture. It’s not something you can find in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s something you find when you take a moment to simply be, to connect with the world around you, to appreciate the beauty and wonder of life.

So, my dear friends, I encourage you to take a moment today to simply be. Put down your tasks, your worries, your stresses. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and find your tranquility.

Until next time,

Kev
