“I can be jubilant one moment and pensive the next, and a cloud could go by and make that happen.” Bob Dylan
A Lightness Just to savour rather than capture, to look rather than touch, holding in the heart of the mind a whist of chameleon memory coloured by fragments of moments, new insights from old feelings, like clouds, not one the same, in an ever present paradox of sky, just to hold without holding, a lightness where thoughts are free to please as they come and go. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

Fine piece Paul – full of paradox – and Buddhist sentiment – ‘chameleon memory’ is a terrific image.

Very much appreciated Peter. I am deeply steeped in eastern thought and I find it refreshing in contrast to western pragmatism, it tells better for me. So glad you enjoyed it.

I’m very much drawn to the idea of achieving the lightness your poem describes. It’s hard to do, though.

It is really hard to let go of fixed thoughts and let the inner just flow. I hope the draw is strong enough to pull you into it Liz 🙂

“Lightness” is an appealing state of mind. Lie on a blanket and watch the clouds roll by. Enjoyed the poem, Paul. 🙂
