In this issue of Mindful Puzzles, adopt the art of slow gifting, and attune to the ebb and flow of the ocean. Discover a new perspective through poetry, linger over sumptuous treats with loved ones, or filch a moment for yourself and fill in our bespoke puzzles. Life needn’t be lived at full speed, let’s embrace the philosophy of dolce far niente – the sweetness of doing nothing. If we recognise life for the sweet elixir it truly is, we can savour each drop, sip by slow sip.
