Slow Down!

A busy mind is a sick mind. A slow mind is a healthy mind. A still mind is a divine mind. ~Native American Proverb

Did you need the reminder to slow down? Because I sure did ;) The picture above was from my breakfast at Organic Lives last week. I definitely took the time to slow down and enjoy every bite. All raw... all delicious. Cinnamon raisin "toast", home-made jam and almond butter, fruit and a home-made chocolate. Divine :)

Today I decided I needed to write another blog post before this month is over and tackle (lol) many other things on my to-do list. Here's what I"m doing instead... this short post as a reminder to slow down and enjoy each moment. Then I'm going outside to sit in the sun for lunch before I head out to attend a yoga class and teach a couple.

This poem came to me last night before I fell asleep, so I thought I'd share.

Listening to the rain,

I find my thoughts are quite the same,

Pitter pattering on my brain

Like the drumming of the rain.

Seems to be no end in sight, 

Nor a pause or flash of light,

Only the musical plight

Of the rain throughout the night.

I watch my thoughts start to wane,

As I listen to the rain,

And I hear in its refrain

Great beauty within the rain.

Core asset... slow down (in case you missed it ;))
