silence acrostic
Silence, finally. Now, let's meditate! Eyes closed. Posture straight.
Inhale, exhale, inha—oh sh*t, did I forget to lock the gate? Q u i e t, brain!
Let it go! I need this time to clear the slate.
Eyes Closed. Posture straight. Ommmmm...ommmmm... ohhhhh
no, I forgot to pay the bills! Now my mortgage payment's late!
Calm down! Ten more minutes; thoughts can wait! Om…love…I release…
Embrace the mome...ding! ding! ding! Time is up, hope you found peace.

Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night—I’m humbly one of the vessels they use to come to life.
Also, i love you:)

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

nice one
Heheh. I laughed at this part, “Ommmmm...ommmmm... ohhhhh”.. and the end! Very comical. 😆
Very clever! Extremely well done. You've got the acrostic form down to perfection. Excellent work!
Hahaha glad I’m not the only one that finds meditation difficult 😝😝
This sounds like my distracted brain. Great job Kristen
Well, thats the art of meditation I suppose!
I feel called out...bahahaha, just kidding! This was so well done and entirely too relatable :)
hahaha. Very clever, friend. Shifting things a little from your usual serenity. This is hilarious and oh so relatable!
Haha. Yup. That's how it would go for me too. Love this!
This is exactly how meditation would progress for me. Love this one!
