A mindful moment at the window

There's something about the air, outside.

Opening the windows to let it all in.

It's freeing from the old.

 

Clearing out the dark spaces.

Vast places,

The thoughts that loomed in the air.

 

There's some about open windows that makes me lighter.

A lessening of the heaviness that fills a house closed from the world.

It's a new beginning, a welcoming sign of new life.

 

There's something about the way the breeze shifts my mind.

An opportunity to notice and remove the cobwebs.

Newness to appreciate.

 

Clearing out the negativity.

Pushing aside,

All that no longer served me.

 

There's something about the air, outside.

It fills my home with the day's perfection.

A positive energy I cannot replicate.

 

There's a reason windows should stay open,

They clear that which is not needed.

And remind me that life is all around my home.

 

So go and open your windows, if you can.

Feel the breeze.

Listen.

 

Know that if you want,

A new beginning is behind each breath of air.

Each gust of life.

Your smile can return.

With the simple act of noticing.

The beautiful breeze from your window.
