Peaceful Guided Meditation

Balanced Mind with Julie Potiker

Breath in peace for yourself - as you breath out peace for others through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Light Show", by James Crews.

"Light Show", by James Crews.

Before supper, I called upstairs to him:

Come see the light show. And without

a moment’s hesitation, he rushed down

to the basement to stand next to me

on the other side of a pool of sun

stretching from the one small window

in the door across the concrete floor.

We watched in silence as light moved

through the leaves of the cherry tree,

mingling with shadows, rippling and

shifting like the mind when you go

quiet enough to isolate each thought—

ever-changing, not made of anything

you can touch. We stood captivated

by that puddle of late light, which

seemed to ask: When was the last time

you dropped everything and danced?

-James Crews
