Dr Joy Philippou MBE in ‘Meditation Poems’ brings zest and a love of life to a modern way of quiet reflection, resolving what might seem this paradox in a way that is uniquely hers.
POEM

Tao

With desperate lucidity
We seize upon escape,
Contemptuous of danger.
Diving through
ego-encrusted layers
into limpid pools of silence.
Hewing tunnels through consciousness,
Searching through the stratosphere
from WISDOM
and COMPASSION
The only Quantum Leaps
to
Nirvana
