Poem of the Week: Fasting From...

Fasting from toxic foods we've eaten,

Choosing instead what's naturally sweetened.

Fasting from negative or hurtful speech,

Practicing instead what we wish to teach.

Fasting from all the political division,

Avoiding instead a moral collision.

Fasting from all forms of social media,

Opening instead to a set of encyclopedias.

Fasting from alcohol, caffeine, cigs, or drugs,

Playing instead with nature's trees and shrubs.

Fasting from toxic relationship struggles,

Disengaging instead from all of the troubles.

Now is a wonderful time to let go,

Raising our frequencies back into flow.

Becoming an empty vessel to receive,

Helping others to have hope and believe.

The sacrifices we make serve a higher cause,

Enjoy this season with a much needed pause.
