Mindfulness


Hobthrush Isle off Lindisfarne
Mindfulness

The Island teaches attention
To the nature of passing time;

The Island teaches rhythm
Ocean’s ebb and flow:

The Island teaches patience
And learning in the waiting;

The Island teaches presence
Stillness in the landscape:

The Island teaches faith
God’s finger on your pulse:

The Island teaches life
And death.
 
The Island teaches
It is not you who decides.
