“Somehow, we'll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be. But for now, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are.”  ― Brandon SandersonThe Hero of Ages

Mindfulness

          It can be as simple as taking a quiet walk on a beach or pretending you’re on a quiet planet you call your own.
          Mindful thinking, when you peel off the romance of martial arts and Eastern philosophy can be as simple as sitting on a chair, closing your eyes, breathing deeply and softly, and hearing the beat of your heat while removing all thoughts from your mind, acknowledging your successes and failures but not allowing emotions to penetrate your space.
         Simple?  Yes.
          Easy?  No.
          Should you do it? Absolutely.
Water soaks the earth
Where a tree receives nourishment
To rise and bend with the wind
Feeling the strength and energy from the sun…
Done so without the unnecessary noise from civilization.
