Is there a friend you would like to visit...someone who is now gone? Someone you would like to have a conversation with? Julie Potiker guides you through this journey. She completes the meditation with her poem, "July Morning".This version ends with music allowing you to drift off into sleep.July morning, by Julie PotikerThere’s a California wild rose bush in bright sun at the edge of the patio in Hailey, Idahowhere I sit in the shade of the house and sip my morning coffeeA silky smooth brown and beige 14 inch garter snake is sunning itself in the moistmulch under the leafy bush. His small beady eye is watching me watch himMorning coffee so different here than Southern CaliforniaThe air is teaming with flying creatures- tiny insects catching the light, and bees asbig as ping pong balls bopping in and out of the grass and shrubs.Only the Western Fly Catcher and Black capped Chickadee are tweeting,that’s another big change -in Cali there’s dozens of species of birds that create the morning symphony.Here, only a few layer their voices to the sound of the river flowing and the gentlebreeze whistling through the green coin leaves of the quacking Aspen trees.This is perfect, I think, different yet perfect, as a plump American Robin drops in tosay good morning, good morning, we do things bigger here in the mountains.July Morning, by Julie PotikerFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".
