Easy Compassion

Julie Potiker guides you through this meditation focusing on compassion. She completes the meditation with the poem,"Wordless", by Julia Fehrenbacher, from her book, "This Too, Words to Walk You Home". WordlessThe blank page keeps calling to me,but when I arrive here with pen in hand,words do not come. Or, when they docome, I swat them away,call them names like inadequate,stupid, cliche. I look out the windowand notice the sun has made her waythrough days and days of gray,and everything is dancing with aliveness.Birds sail and swoop, irises sway,trees with their green, green leaveswave their long arms at me and say:Come, Love, open the door,stroll out into the sunshine,the whole world is waiting -and every single sliver of it is poetry,hold out your hand, write id down.Leave nothing out.-Julia Fehrenbacher Continue your mindfulness journey with Julie - through her writings.
