I need wool socksand a hoodie zipped up to my chinin spite of the heat. I need the reliefof dandelion tea wrapping a gauzeof steam around my hands wrappedaround the warm mug. With each sip,let me find the kind of peace we makeourselves these days—let me see your faceand not look up at the kitchen clock,counting down the minutes and secondswe might have left together.—James CrewsFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".
