Poem: Good Hours (By Robert Frost)

Although there is a tendency to associate mindfulness with positive emotions (e.g., joy or awe), mindfulness allows all emotions to show up and be acknowledged. Rather than focusing on whether emotions are pleasant or unpleasant, it is often helpful to give them space to just 'be' for a while.

For me, Good Hours by Robert Frost elicits the emotions of loneliness and longing, which are emotions that nearly everyone experiences from time to time; there is comfort in knowing that we are not alone in feeling this way.

Thank you for listening, and I hope that you enjoy this reading of Good Hours.
