Slowing down Coming to stillness Focusing on the breath I sense my body in space I am reminded to be grateful For this life For this moment For this body For this breath Looking inward, I ask my heart Are you happy? Are you heavy? What is uplifting you or weighing you down? If I am still enough, I can hear the quiet inner voice A vulnerable voice that can be fleeting It is easily washed over with the sounds of everyday living
Other times this voice comes to my while brushing my teeth or as I am hurriedly packing up to leave for the day Its only requirement is my willingness to pause and listen Most often, it calls to me, remember what’s important Don’t forget to love Show gratitude Slow down This inner wisdom is a guide to my heart’s intentions if I am aware enough to notice Mindful enough to recognize what’s within me
