The movement of the trees in the mornings’ breeze is captivating

Finally, my mind stops running around telling me what I should do.

A worrisome mind is not something I can make disappear.

I can, however, believe I am more than the internal conversation.

I can learn to trust my feelings, they can lead me as well.

Peace and serenity are attainable, but words alone won’t get me there.

Peace and serenity are not thoughts, they are feelings.

Connected to nature is where we can be most at peace,

And in this moment is the only time we can be serene.

Taking time to learn, taking time to practice, discovering that this-

Very place and this very moment is my perfect home.

After a while our moment of connection passes.

We are working people, and we return to our commitments,

And our responsibility.

Returning to our work, no longer overvaluing our importance-

A little less power driven, a little less needy.

Having learned how to be present to myself,

I can be more present to others.

I am starting to see how my need to oppose is fading,

My desire for connection is growing.

This moment-This place-This life-These people.
