Bring your attention to the sensations of breathing in your body where it is most clear to you for the next three breaths

 Trees and Water 
by Lorin Bulmash-Toyman 

It's easy to forget trees are older then us
They stand tall with dignity
They come in all shapes sizes and styles
They are beautiful, warm and show endless compassion

It’s easy to walk by them and not pay attention.
The trees dance on the water as their reflection ripples with wonder  
The crisp blue sapphire water below mirrors their beauty
With out judgment or cruelty

If we waited for a deep breath or a meditation, we'd realize everything is always changing just like the seasons.
Although our thoughts can jump around and take us over,
We can take a lesson from the trees and the water
They remind us that stillness brings us back to calm all together.

Wishing you a mindful evening
