Looking Closer

Mindfulness and meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique of focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity to train their attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state.  During the latter stages of the corona virus pandemic lockdown I sought this illusive state.  The movement of the fish was the trigger for such escape.
