"samudra vasate devi
parvata stana mandite
vishnu patni namastubhyam
paada chaaram kshamasva me"
Love this, Ramaswami mentioned a prayer his father used to say every morning before getting out of bed. I asked him about it again this week and he got back to me with the sloka and then with it's translation (or was that the other way around). Not sure why I'm so taken with this, just seems a great way to start your day.

I love this. It sort of sums up how we should feel about this planet we're on, how we should go through life leaving it as unchanged as possible.
Hi Ragdoll, glad you like it too. I hadn't really focussed on the eco aspect so much as an exercise in mindfulness.
Ah, there's a big mindfullness fail for me there - my very first thought was 'I'd never remember to say a prayer before getting out of bed, I'm too busy running through all the things I have to do before I leave the house . . . '
Yep, me too, forgetting to be mindful while planning to be mindful on the mat.
