Be Mindful

Be present, and of things around you, try to be aware. Embrace the life you see around you. God is everywhere. See His hand in nature: in the dawn and twilight skies; the mountains, valleys, trees and seas, and in your child's eyes. Be mindful of all humankind no matter where you are. Be kind to all, for in God's eyes, each child is His own star. Judge not, and be forgiving, but if you chance to see wrongdoing, you should stand up for those facing jeopardy. Be mindful, ever mindful, and if you follow this - more blessed will be your time on earth; more taste you'll have of bliss. For Unseeking Seeker's Mindfulness Poetry Contest For Brian Strand's All Yours (Jun 22) Poetry Contest

I’m not religious, Andrea, but I couldn’t disagree with your splendidly written overall sentiment. I suspect there’s a podium place with your name on it. Terry

Neither can I discount the fact that the things I was taught as a child in Bible class were true. I suppose I will know when I die. I have a mind that is open to many possibilites!

I am not religious either but I truly can't imagine how the world would not have a master creator. It all seems so logically ordered to me!
