Meditation through a Window
Meditation through a Window

by Samir Knego

Begin by closing your eyes and paying attention to your breathing.

Inhale 1-2-3, exhale 3-2-1. Continue these slow, deep breaths with your eyes closed. If the window in front of you is open, you might acknowledge the warmth or chill or wind you feel through it, but try not to focus on it too much for now (if the weather is distracting, you may want to close the window).

All those days in the mailroom

Didn’t prepare my hands to fold

In prayer to something bigger
