"Mindfulness is a state of active, open
attention on the present. When you're mindful, you observe your thoughts
and feelings from a distance, without judging them good or bad. Instead
of letting your life pass you by, mindfulness means living in the moment and awakening to experience." -Psychology Todayhiking among trees
rustling in hot wind
with dirt folding
into the bends of my arms &
behind my knees
I feel the muscles
of my thighs
chanting
rise, rise, rise
