Goodness Meditation - You Matter

Balanced Mind with Julie Potiker

Breathe in goodness...for yourself...and others through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "You Matter", by James Crews.

You Matter, by James Crews

All we can do in times like these

is offer things to say to others:

You matter to me. The Mason jar

of chicken soup given to a neighbor,

or the clay mug shaped by the hands

of a friend, with a dog and goldfinch

painted on the side - how it arrived

in the mail unbroken. A phone call

out of the blue, or message that says:

Thinking of you. Let's wrap each other

in gestures so true, no one ever doubts

how much they belong, no one ever

questions whether or not to stay.

-You Matter, by James Crews.
