Mindful at Sea Level Season 2-Heading North

On a cold winter’s day, as I gazed from my office window, a sudden sliver of sunlight pierced the gray. In that moment of awareness, nature startled me with its quiet promise of sunshine— whispering, “be patient… what you seek is almost here.”This episode is a reflection on that gift of light, a reminder to stay steady, stay aware, and stay mindful at sea level.-Bob A, Mindful at Sea LevelCredits:Music: One Day by IndieDanArtwork: Gemini AIPoem: A Promise of Sunshine by Bob A, Mindful at Sea LevelLyrics:A Promise of SunshineThe dawn awakens with a whisper of joy—touched with gold.Summer sings one final refrain, then exits south, pursued by rain.A dash of joy to start the day, letting go the sorrows of yesterday.Tears and hugs of the past, not forgotten,yet with chills, I anticipate the thrillof being here, now, with youin earth’s heaven.Morning sunshine improves with age.Its shimmering rays of joydance across a cold, melancholy landscape.I retreat within, to safe harbor—observing, noticing,moment to moment,in the silent language of nature, a whisper.A promise of sunshine.-Bob A, 2025Morse Code Key:WELCOME HOMEKEEP SMILINGMASL Season 2 is dedicated to Jack Russell Nation.
