Being A Blessing with poem "At My Window", by Mark Nepo

Enjoy this moment of self care as Julie Potiker leads you through this guided meditation. She completes the meditation with a reading of the poem, At My Window", by Mark Nepo."


At the Window, By Mark Nepo


I was at the window


when a fly near the latch


was on its back spinning —


legs furious, going nowhere.


I thought to swat it


but something in its struggle


was too much my own.


It kept spinning and began to tire.


Without moving closer, I exhaled


steadily, my breath a sudden wind,


and the fly found its legs,


rubbed its face


and flew away.


I continued to stare at the latch


hoping that someday, the breath


of something incomprehensible


would right me and


enable me to fly.
