What is mindfulness?
Moment by moment,
Acceptance,
Awareness,
Noticing,
Focus.
Of feelings,
Thoughts,
Beliefs,
Reactions.
Without a desire
to control
to fight
to flee
simply to accept.
I once found myself
Walking mindfully
To my car at lunch.
I felt the breeze
On my face
And that was enough.
I noticed how the grass,
Bark,
Cement,
Felt under my feet.
I focused on the animal
As it climbed a tree
Sought after food
How it knew its purpose, its goal.
I witnessed the birds
Circling above,
Sticking together,
Knowing where they were going,
And how to get there.
What did this brief walk do for me?
Worries and work concerns
Had no space.
I was present,
Really experiencing life in those moments.
I was unhooked from a buzzing brain.
I detached from needing
To constantly be in my head.
I felt at peace.
A brief walk
Of 1 to 2 minutes
Was enough to make
An inner shift.
