Spring invites us to open to nature and rediscover it. It invites us to walk and to become mindful. It is easy to let ourselves to the process of mindful walking when we are surrounded by nature. Nature can become what drives this mindfulness exercise.
Even when there is not much nature around us, there is often a large tree – ready to welcome us. Let’s find that tree during our walk!
By giving form and words to that which has none – such as the unfathomable beauty that surrounds us, the immense suffering and misery of the world – poetry contributes to the expansion of our common humanity, helping to increase its strength, solidarity and self-awareness.” Irina Bokova, director-general of UNESCO.
It’s World Poetry Day. Let’s make time to honour this day and the role of mindfulness poetry.
