awaken

i wear a purple string around my wrist. it reminds me of my intention from a recent meditation retreat. the intention comes from words spoken by the teacher: “if not now, when?” if i don’t practice mindfulness now, when? if i don’t practice compassion now, when? if i don’t inhabit my life now, when?

 

my ordinary front yard, in its autumn-morning beauty, reminds me to awaken. now. with kindness and love.
