A while back, I did a writing exercise with my daughter, Xena. I had her look at an image of Green Tara and see what she came up with. She came up with a poem titled “Conclusions“.
Since then, she has asked me if I wanted her to try it again. Tonight she asked one more time. After asking her if it was something she wanted to do, she excitedly said yes.
This time, I showed her an image of Chenrezig (the same one I posted here), this is what she came up with.
“A caring expression,
Offering kind thoughts,
Radiating kindness.
The flowers he holds
Are loving,
Compassionate,
And very heartfelt.
His stance shows
A quiet soul,
Ready to listen.”
Very excellent! ^_^ Very talented grrl, too!
Lucky dad, lucky daughter. By the way, how old is she?
Thank you for sharing.

She is 14, just starting high school this year! Yay!
Children are astoundingly sensitive to the energy of things, even pictures.
Thank you for sharing this beauty this morning!
It’s crazy how she can hit the concept of each deity. She writes quite a lot and very well. I’m psyched to be able to share some of it here.
i think Xena’s poems outshine any of our posts. period.
Love it!
