Mini Mindfulness Break for June 02, 2019

I love you when you’re juicy, full of aliveness, and feeling the buzzing energy of calm excitement in your body.
I love you when you feel numb, depressed, and empty.
I love you when you’re dancing on tiptoe, spinning with ecstasy and feeling grateful for the gift of being alive.
I love when you’re too exhausted to care for yourself, much less anyone else.
I love you when you’re smack dab in the center of your life purpose, feeling the deep joy of knowing you’re giving your gifts to the world.
I love you when you’re in the space between stories, you don’t know why you’re here, and you feel lost, rudderless, and desperate to find your calling.
Honestly, darling, I don’t have a preference. Others might say it, but I really mean it. I love you just the way you are. (Cue Billy Joel . . . doo wa doo wa.)
For better or for worse

Mini Mindfulness Break for May 15, 2019

On the occasion of the autumnal equinox I want to share with you a favorite poem about the equal balance of day and night.
It’s entitled, ‘Day & Night’ and was written by the Norwegian poet, Rolf Jacobson:
Endless our day —
It is without end.
It only goes away to another place,
moves silently away for a little while,
throws the blue coat around its shoulders,
rinses it feet in the ocean and goes away
then comes running back again with rosy cheeks
and with cool, good hands
lifts your chin and looks you in the face
and says: “Are you awake yet?”
Endless our night-
it is without end.
it only goes away to another place
a little while,
then it’s here again
with its feverish eyes
and hair dripping wet with sweat
and says: “Why aren’t you sleeping?”
There is no end to the joy, nor to the pain,
Nor to death, nor to life.
They only go away for a little while, they circle
the earth ,
to another heart,
a little while,
then they’re back again with their halting voices:
“Are you sleeping? Are you awake?”
There is no end to the stars and the wind.

– Translated from the Norwegian by Robert Bly

Mini Mindfulness Break for May 14, 2019

Joyful Energy

We can get greater energy out of love and joy than out of hatred. Hatred is so off balance. You blow your adrenals in one minute, then you’re shaky and weak. But if you’re joyful, you’ll get an endless source of energy.
