Visit a place full of colors and smells to inspire your day. A sensory zen Monday.

Add one stroke of humor to the mundane. A zen Monday recipe for laughter.

Look out for the unexpected to lift your mood.

If you draw your own line between observing and spying, will it land exactly where everyone else’s?

Let your imagination float to an unforeseen place, like a leaf carried by the wind.

A moment of reflection can be stretched if you so decide.

Feel proud when creating something new, but prouder still of your commitment to creating it daily.

Casually, a standing heron appears.

Thank you for accompanying me on a full year of zen Mondays. Time to celebrate your all-time-favorites and share another special zen moment.

The only thing standing between any change of state is time.

Ground your place in the world anew. Look out to the ocean on a borrowed lens.

When mastery seems unlikely, think of it as a long walk. Pause for breath and take a new step.
