Under The Tree

I was inspired to write this after a recent Day of Mindfulness that I conducted during Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course.

Enveloped by warmth on the skin

Cooled through the bare soles

Birds chirping

Squirrels darting

Shadows dark yet dancing

Tree shedding yet alive

Unspoken yet connected

Unheard yet felt

Fleeting yet remembered

Separated yet whole

Everchanging realities

Yet standing still

Immersed in my own

Travelling across time and space

An alchemy of gathering souls
