Goodness In and Out Meditation -Sleep Version

Balanced Mind with Julie Potiker

Breathe goodness in - and out - through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Into the Thrum", by Marjorie Moorhead.

This version ends with music allowing you to drift off into sleep.

Into the Thrum, by Marjorie Moorehead

Finally, the forsythia

is at full throttle froth.

Yellow petals spangling

in large group celebration.

Nearby, magnolia too,

has decided to pop. It's time

to show up, and each tree is

a handful of confetti-in-the-air.

The crocuses have teased forth

daffodils to join them and tulip greens are hinting

at days of color to come, when they'll bloom

in pinks and purples and bring the hyacinths along

to prance in parade. Why not? The sun i strong,

and after burning through morning fog, is out

for serious business all afternoon.

Sunsets will be highlighted in cloud forms, docking

like ships in the waning light, making them blush

and glow, putting on quite a show, yet prelude

for the exhibition of moon, and stars.

Birds know. The geese have come back, squawking,

joining cardinals, robins, and crows.

With each venture out, I've captured

spring-tilled soil in my soles.
