The mountain is standing tall, rising into the blue. It´s firm. Solid. Grounded. Steady despite change. Seasons through, no matter what.

Sitting down in observation, I´m lifting my eyes to the sky. Visualizing how my thoughts are like clouds passing by with the breeze.

Creating a gap to a busy mind.

For no other reason than to be fully present in this moment, I´m capturing the freshness of my surroundings. The glowing lights, a subtle scent wafting through the wintery air.

Simply being here for a few mindful minutes.

Then widening my awareness.

Keeping the calmness of the mountain within.
