Mindful Story

Today’s Mindfulness story is a poem entitled Hope

Always we hope
Someone has the answer
Some other place will be better
Some other time it will all turn out
This is it.
No one else has the answer
No other place will be better,
And it has already turned out
At the centre of your being
You have the answer,
You know who you are
And you know what you want.
There is no need to run outside
For better seeing.
Nor to peer from a window
Rather abide at the centre of your being.
For the more you leave it,
The less you learn.
Search your heart and see
The way to do is to be.

Enjoy Mindful Monday
