Sit back and relax into autumn in this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the poem with a reading of, "Poem Beginning with a Line from It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", by Maggie Smith."Poem Beginning with a Line from It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," by Maggie SmithJust look—nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see—the way the changed leaves,flapping their yellow underbelliesin the wind, glitter. The treelooks sequined whereverthe sun touches. Does anyonenot see it? Driving by a fieldof spray-painted sheep, I thinkthe world is not all changed.The air still ruffles woolthe way a mother’s handbusies itself lovingly in the hairof her small boy.

It glitterswhether we’re looking or not.Get the latest on mindfulnes
