Why these picks
I was thinking the other day about how much we miss when we just hurry through life. We often think of mindfulness as something you do on a yoga mat, but it is really just about how you pay attention. It is like finding a hidden track on an old record. You have to listen past the surface noise to find the real melody.
This week, I have pulled together a few stories that look at the world a bit differently. Some show you how to find your center when everything around you is loud. Others remind us that even old pieces of wood or stone have stories to tell if you look closely enough. It is all about finding that rhythm in the middle of the mess. Don't you think we could all use a bit more of that?
