Breathe in loving kindness for yourself, those you love, and for people all around the planet - through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with her poem, " What's It Like Being You?".

What’s It Like Being You? By Julie Potiker
What’s it like being You?Cradling the smooth stones, chunks of jasper, garnet and opalStacks of pale grey branches, hiding places for otters, snakes and troutWhat’s it’s like being you?Sometimes a mere trickleSometimes a rushing torrentAt the mercy of the snow pack aboveEach year uniqueA place of refugePeace to my heartWhat’s it like to be you?Glittering in the sunshineBlanketed in ice and snowAlways movingNever StoppingWhat’s it like to be you, river, what’s it like to be you?For the elk who water there,What’s it like to be you?To be beheld with such wonder by meTo be searching for food constantlyTo be so majesticTo be hunted for sportTo be hunted for food What’s it like to be you?To grow a huge rack of antlers every year, Just to have them drop to the ground each spring, snapped up by lucky antler shed hunters to make chandeliers.What’s it like to be you, Elk?What’s it like to be you?To be so loved by me.-What’s It Like Being You?
