Enjoy this open awareness meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "I Pray to the Birds", by Terry Tempest Williams. I Pray to the Birds, by Terry Tempest Williams I pray to the birds.I pray to the birds because I believe they will carry the messages of my heart upward.I pray to them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day—the invocations and benedictions of Earth.I pray to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear.And at the end of my prayers, they teach me how to listen. -Terry Tempest Williams Continue your mindfulness journey with Julie - through her writings.
