Five Verses That Cultivate Attentive Awareness


A Brief Anthology of Poems Reflecting on Mindful Experiences

For many years, I have endeavored to combine my passion for design with my affection for poetry, culminating in a brief anthology of poems that contemplate mindful experiences. These works represent some of my initial creations, published under my maiden name.

One poem advocates for taking gradual steps toward action, highlighting self-care practices such as drinking more water or adhering to medication schedules. Rather than offering clichés, it promotes the pursuit of tranquility through practical resolutions.

In another piece, minimalist design resonates with a yearning for simplicity, conceived during my industrious years. It drew inspiration from a cruise in 2018, which taught me the importance of disconnecting and embracing focused time free from interruptions.

A heartfelt poem depicts the sensation of drifting in water, symbolizing rare moments of relaxation amid familial estrangement. It captures the peaceful release and surrender to calmness.

A cautionary poem warns of how easily we can slip into chaos, emphasizing the need for vigilance in sustaining mindful awareness.

During commutes in Baltimore, a brief poem encapsulates ephemeral morning experiences, highlighting mindfulness as the act of observing beauty even amidst life’s busyness.

These poems emerged from a gradual mindfulness journey interlaced with meditation and yoga, encouraging me to treasure the small, significant moments.
