POEM - Choose your own morning routine

Wake up at 3:30 am to butterfly kisses
Sit in silent meditation at your altar
Clear your mind
Empty your mind
Purify your mind with nothingness
Now begin your practice
Stand at the top of your mat
Inhale
Exhale
Contort your body
Push
Breathe
Never stop breathing
Touch the ground with only your arms
Bend until you almost break
Pretend to be dead
Lie there and be thankful

Go, walk, meet the sun as it rises
Be restored
Your empty vessel ready to be filled with goodness and light
Drink greenness in
Absorb so that you might create
It’s time
You begin your day with true intentions

Do you

A) Go to McDonalds for breakfast (go to page 3)
B)Continue a juice fast until noon (go to page 2)

Page 2

Break your fast with a piece of rare tropical fruit
Have your fill of nuts and seeds
You are a glorious bird of paradise
Continue flying (go to page 4)

Page 3

You are garbage
You will always be garbage
You are caught helplessly
In a web of your own ineptitude (your adventure has ended)

Hope my poem put a smile on your face! It's kind of a satire poking fun at the self-help/wellness culture that I'm so fond of.
