    Reading the mindful poem, “Stand Still” by David Wagoner. Nature has wisdom to pass down to all who listen. Nature is the place where we can easily dial into the awareness of the present moment, where happiness and peace have always been. Stand still and find what your have been seeking.

    Stand Still
    By David Wagoner

    The trees before you and the bushes beside you are not lost.
    Wherever you are is a place called Here,
    And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
    Must ask permission to know it and be known.
    The forest breathes.
    Listen.
    It answers, I have made this place around you,
    If you leave it, you may come back again saying Here.
    No two trees are the same to Raven.
    No two branches the same to Wren.
    If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
    You are surely lost.
    Stand still.
    The forest knows
    Where you are.
    You must let it find you.

    Creating the balance we so much want but something always seems to get in the way. Conditioned behaviors become our walls. Hence, why life can easily turn into the imbalance we are hoping to avoid. Adapting mindful attitudes such as patience, generosity, and gratitude, we can gently find happiness. Perhaps it’s true, we should be more like our trusted companions. Thanks for listening... Being Mindful at Sea Level. Music: Believe in You, Prod. Ryini Beats: https://www.youtube.com/ryini

    If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
    If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
    If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
    If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
    If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
    If you can overlook when people take things out on you when,
    through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
    If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
    If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
    If you can conquer tension without medical help,
    If you can relax without liquor,
    If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
    If you can do all of this,
    THEN YOU ARE PROBABLY THE FAMILY DOG!

    Be Patient
    Mar 19 2022
    Reading the mindful poem, “Be Patient” by Rainer Marie Rilke. Striving for control comes with disappointment. Dwelling on making sense of it all may hijack your attention from things that really matter. Allow life to happen and perhaps the answers you seek will find you. Thanks for listening... Being Mindful at Sea Level. Music: Believe, Prod. Ryini Beats: https://www.youtube.com/ryini Be Patient by Rainer Maria Rilke Be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart And try to love the questions themselves Like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue Do not seek for the answers that cannot be given For you would not be able to live them And the point is to live everything Live the questions now And perhaps without knowing it You will live along someday into the answers
