Mindfulness is not a clinical
appraisal of each moment,
as if our life is an object
that is meant to be observed
at a distance.
Mindfulness is making each moment
your best friend,
forgiving it, loving it,
laughing and crying with it.
It is a choice
to look for reasons
to be grateful.
Hunt for the good
even in your messiest moments
and you will find it;
like the moon and sun,
hope is always there,
quietly offering
its light.
