Meditation

Stop whatever you’re doing and open your eyes. You might not think they’re closed, but trust me. They are. Stop whatever you’re doing, open your eyes, look out your bedroom window, and breathe. Breathe in the trees you forgot to notice yesterday. Breathe in the birdsong floating through the windowpanes until you can hum along. Now, step outside and breathe in the earth beneath your feet. You may find yourself short of breath, so take off your shoes. Take off your socks. Breathe in, and you may find yourself making up for lost time. Breathe in, and you may find yourself gazing at the trees for hours. Breathe in, and you may even find yourself. Just take a deep breath. Meditate.
