Color Me Mindful


Be present – presence is the thing.
Be here – here and now.
Relax. Clear your mind.
Leave all of your anxieties behind.
Turn out the lights. Close your eyes.
Just be. Pause a moment and visualize.

Rolling waves onto the shore.
Clouds floating slowly across the sky.
Think about things of which you are thankful for…
Put aside worries. You can do it if you try.
Where-ever you are, just meditate.
Feel the sensation in your arms, fingers, toes. Contemplate.

Notice your surroundings. Appreciate it all.
Give yourself a needed break, before you fall.
The crowd cheers. You’re Casey at the Bat.
Win, lose or draw you are mindful. Imagine that!
Your fans are here. They came to see you play.
Be happy. Be kind. Be peaceful. Have a wonderful day.
