If we are lucky, we have careers or jobs which help nurture us. But in reality its just a job. We have plenty of other important things in our life that we should value and cherish. When not at work, try to be creative. Try to find a mindful pursuit which engages you and provides balance. Write, draw, run, walk, watch, paint, sing, bake, swim, puzzle or try some gardening. Whatever the pursuit, creativity will generate new ideas and possibilities in your mind and help provide an alternative to our often exhausting daily routine. Being creative provides another focus and reduces rumination. Endless possibilities await.

I might draw, I might no

I might draw, I might no.

I might write, about my plight, my right to fight for what I believe is right. But I might no.

I might grow, shoots and roots from mother earth below, from the seeds that I sew. I might no.

I might fish in a local river, an honest endeavour, never say never. I might no.

I might bake, bake a cake, for my old neighbours sake. I might no.

I might walk, and mindfully talk, try to understand whats what. I might no.

I might kiss, a certain Miss, who offers me bliss, who’s gave me this. I might no.

I might paint, the clouds in the sky, as they wander by, try to beautify. I might no.

I might graze, embrace an outdoor space, enjoy the breath and the taste. I might no.

I might read, normally guaranteed, to nourish and feed, this big heed, I might no.

If I was in my prime, I might climb, to hear the church bells chime. I might no.

I might dance, through happenstance or if I get the chance. I might no.

I might sketch, sketch the moor, and all its allure, shared between rich and the poor. I might no.

I might jump in the freezing sea, well up to my knees, feeling totally free. I might no.

I might create, its never too late, shape my fate, help stop me ruminate. I just might.
