Reading the mindful poem, “The Paradox of Noise” by Gunilla Norris. This collection of poetic thoughts and words brings out the contrast of everyday life. I’m sure that we all can find the paradoxes of what we experience, do, and think about. Are you in a job that you don't care for, but pays the bills? Are you living in a place you enjoy, but your family is hundreds of miles away? Are you in a bad relationship, but... I’m sure someone reading this reflection can fill in the blank. It’s part of life. Perhaps for some, it took a pandemic to realize what’s most important. In these troubling and challenging times, it was a good nudge to wake up from the autopilot nature of the human experience. Another paradox? Be present and intentional. Look for the happiness that’s right in front of you. Thank you for listening... Being Mindful at Sea Level. Music: Whatever, Prod. Ryini Beats: https://www.youtube.com/ryini
