A meditation session “Steady Mind, Warm Heart”, essentially mindfulness, inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s poem If. Seems appropriate in light of Prince Harry and Meghan Markles’ interview with Oprah.

If (extract), Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about youย ย ย ย ย ย
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,ย ย ย
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,ย ย ย
But make allowance for their doubting too;ย ย ย
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,ย ย ย
Or being lied about, donโt deal in lies,
Or being hated, donโt give way to hating,ย ย ย
And yet donโt look too good, nor talk too wise.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,ย ย ย ย ย ย
Or walk with Kingsโnor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,ย ย ย
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minuteย ย ย
With sixty secondsโ worth of distance run,ย ย ย
Yours is the Earth and everything thatโs in it,ย ย ย ย ย ย
Andโwhich is moreโyouโll be a Man, my son!
