I have had my bath
And my cottage pie
Already I am in my pyjamas
And dressing gown
(Bought especially for the trip)
I am comfortable
Though the early excitement is fading
But this place is a good choice
I say to myself
(I say that often)
I have not meditated yet
But I will do
Probably sat on a dining chair
By the window, with the curtains drawn
(It needs to be a calm place)
First I have the urge to write a letter
Is it too soon
No, it is not too soon, get on with it
Stop procrastinating
(Procrastination is my number one skill)
I don’t sit at the dining table
To write the letter
That would infer formality
Instead, I am on the rattan settee
And I do gaze into the warming wood-burner
