Hello -
Just finished a long road trip cross country, and now my family and I are on Bowen Island in British Columbia. Beautiful ocean views, towering cedar trees, and for a few months, I hope, a more peaceful life.
I sat this morning, looked out over the water, and felt like I was part of the landscape. Bird, breeze, meditator. Repeat. I decided to record a short in-situ meditation about that.
Keeping it simple this week friends. Enjoy.
Love,
Jeff

THIS WEEK ON THE MIND BOD ADVENTURE POD
This week, we sit down with acclaimed poet, novelist, and memoirist
to talk about the practice of reading, and what it means to build a (messy, real) creative life. Chelene’s most recent book - Safekeeping: A Writer's Guided Journal for Launching a Book with Love - is part guided journal, and part treasure map through a lifelong practice of writing and teaching writing to others.We talk about:
Why “there is no reading, only rereading”
The mistake of ignoring your instincts and how to recover.
Poetry as the foundation for all writing.
What happens when writers trust the reader enough to leave space.
Reading, in Chelene’s hands, is more than consumption. It’s a meditation, a prayer, a slow fire that lights us from within.
