MINDFULNESS
“Mindfulness.” I am hearing that word a lot lately.
Awareness of the wind, the sounds, the scents
in the room and on the train platform - all round me.
“Mindfulness.” I am eating and this time I taste
the salt and the cold butter and I see the ice cubes
in the water and the words and faces around me.
“Mindfulness.” I pause and hear scripture texts
in my memory. “Be still and know that I am God.”
“Even though the valley is dark, I am with you.”
