When it seems like the world is falling apart, take a moment to look up at the sky. Such a beautiful morning out on the walking trail and the expansive blue sky reminded me that we can find within our inner world a safe haven. Now more than ever before it’s time to meditate. #awarenessiskey #meditationpractice #breathedeeply #calm @ Gap Creek Reserve MTB Trails
