When you slow down, and breathe deeply,
     your imagination opens up to the world around you.

Seeing with freshen vision,
     colors brighten, contrasts appear, and minutest details stimulate your thoughts.

Time passes quickly,
     although each moment appears to last infinitely.

Choosing a more mindful path,
     leads to a calming stillness and blissful serenity.

Being aware of the beauty that exists in everyday occurrences,
     helps us realize that it was always so.

The capacity to observe, to inquire and to love,
     exists in each of us.

Freeing ourselves from self-imposed day-to-day drudgery, if only for a few moments,
     centers our thoughts on what is most important.
