Smooth Amber

A study found evidence that the daily practice of meditation thickened the parts of the brain's cerebral cortex responsible for decision making, attention, and memory. See Article: http://bit.ly/9CFUU6

Three Deep Breaths

Something Beautiful
Soft morning light
Gives
A sheen
to smooth amber bark.
An owl hoots in
Low tones 
While small birds chatter
Above

Breath Meditation
Cool moist air
Inspires.
I stand on 
Mother earth
Alive.
My mind yields
To the joy of
breathing.
Letting go of
Effort,
I join
With the trees, birds,
And others awakening
on this day.
