Join Julie Potiker as she guides you through this meditation focusing on what it is you need - for yourself. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Try Softer", by James Crews.

"Try Softer", by James Crews

Honor wherever you are

whether the door to your life

has blown off its hinges,

or you find the simplest joy

sitting in a patch of winter sun

on that corner of the carpet

where you love to stretch.

Try softer, not harder—

giving yourself a safe place

to land your attention, resting

in this threshold moment

through which wind, snow

and light all enter alike.

—James Crews
