dew lazes on red lilies

When you first open your eyes each morning, notice how the thinking mind jumps in. It begins to judge, explain, interpret and ponder. To avoid turning the brain's hamster wheel, take a deep breath and release it. Take another. Focus on a thought of gratitude for the day.
Awaken with six breaths that bring your attention inward. Follow the breath from the abdomen up to the nostrils. Then let it out slowly. When you focus on the breath, you'll begin to feel a relief. The wheel stops spinning.
Daily writing practice helps to release the illusion of control. It permits experiences to unroll with each letter, word, sentence and paragraph. The flow from within reveals mysteries and enables creativity to percolate.
Creative Write: Begin with thoughts of summer. Bring attention to experiences. Write with sounds, sights, scents and textures. Stay spacious in awareness and gentle the mind without judgment.
Notice the day's wisdom as it appears on the page or screen.
