Notes About The Poem

Liberating Distraction

I set myself free
   yet still in the here and now.
Eyes closed, breathing in and out

         Nothing else matters
    amidst the chaos and noise;
         peacefully meditating

I'm glad you do, Constance:-) Practicing mindfulness definitely clears the cobwebs and makes one think more clearly and feel better!
