Retreat – A Tanka

Blocking out the world

Retreating into my mind

Hoping for quiet

Pulling back from the chaos

So hectic and destructive

    Stepping away can be very mentally cleansing. Think people need to do that more often.

      I know that I for one need to do it much more often. There are days when the brain just hurts. :)

    Yep…we all need that time. It is harder to commit to then ever. But we do need it.

      That is for sure, I’m going to make a point of doing it even if it is only for a few minutes a day. :)

    It is necessary at times… to step back and reflect. Great tanka my friend ;-)

      Thank you so much Roxi, I am feeling that I need to do a little more of this to refresh my mind. Be well my friend. :)

    i retreat quite a bit. sometimes when I am taking a shower, walking Pee or just lying on the floor – this has become a favorite, as of late:) I drive home and lie on the floor with Pee, If for only a few minutes.

      That’s good, sometimes just those few minutes is all it takes. I guess everyone just needs to find what works for them. :)
