Alert and relaxed
What does it mean t o be alert and relaxed? It seems to be, t he obvious paradox When you are alert, y ou are always waiting For something to happen, that you are wanting How can you relax w hen your heart is raising Waiting for something that could be amazing And then again y ou can really be alert When you are playing with a child or crossing a street But are you relaxed i n any of those places? Far from it if you think of those spaces You could only be both when you have inner peace When your mind is relaxed a nd your body is at ease !
