salt on potatoes
spicy heat in an enchilada
sun on green growing things
A too crowded cupboard
pushes joy to the back
hides it from my senses
buries it beneath fallen spice jars
Clearing the cupboard of my soul
Joy is set right up front again
Face forward to my senses
Lifted up once more
“The present moment is filled with joy and happiness.
If you are attentive, you will see it.”

The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life

The important mindfulness of joy- that we know well is ours, but also that we decide to find and enjoy.
Absolutely. Mindfulness in so many things in my life has blessed me.
