Rising Light

M.A.D. Works

Someone is frustrated
By things that can’t change
Change that mindset,
Let your heart rearrange.

Embrace the morning sun,
Let go of yesterday’s weight,
For every end holds a beginning,
In every twist, don’t hesitate.

Breathe deep in the stillness,
Find strength in the calm,
Each moment a fleeting whisper,
A chance to reclaim your charm.

Let worries drift like autumn leaves,
Soar with winds of hope anew,
In the garden of your spirit,
Plant dreams and watch them bloom.

Though storms may shake your foundation,
And shadows may cloud your day,
With courage, you can rise again,
And illuminate your own way.

Mindful moment

If you wake up at 3am, try a body scan to relax any tension you may be holding in your body. If you do a mindfulness practice, get out of bed and do it elsewhere. The point isn’t to fall asleep during your practice but afterward, when you return to bed

Pig’s Muddy Adventures

M.A.D. Works

Petunia the pig, so round and so pink,
Loves to splash in the mud, it’s her favorite drink.
Leaving a messy trail wherever she strays,
Causing mayhem for others in so many ways.

With a snort and a giggle, she’ll roll in the mire,
Leaving behind a scene that others must admire.
But despite the chaos she tends to incite,
Petunia’s joyful spirit is always warm and bright.

So let her revel in her muddy spree,
For Petunia the pig is happy as can be.

Ink and Imagination

In the quiet of my inner space,
I dip my pen into the ink,
And bring to life a scene or face,
Drawing stories with each distinct link.

Embracing the Summer Joy

M.A.D. Works

The sun is really hot in the summer,
The air is thick, and the sky is bright.
The trees look beautiful with their leaves glowing,
Children have fun playing in the heat,
Everything feels happy and alive.

Let’s enjoy this time and appreciate every day,
Because summer is really special.
