As I listen to the guided meditation, “Finding Ease in the Moment,” Sam shifts in his bed behind me. I feel a surge of anxiety in my body, the cold tingle of fear, the rush of panic, the burning ache in my throat and chest and stomach. I breath in deep and then out, trying my best as instructed to find the “okayness of this moment.”
Reverb is over, 2014 has begun, so it’s time for a month of Small Stones, a 30 day mindful writing challenge hosted by Writing Our Way Home. The way they describe it is simply to pay proper attention to one thing every day during January and write it down, share it. This is my third year participating.
As the wind blows outside in the still dark of early morning, I begin a new journal. It’s the first day of a new year. Things are being cleared out and a blank page is waiting, a fresh start.
