Take a Breath

Restlessness fills me

head to toe - body and soul.

Breathe easy. Let go.

The Universe Holds Truth

Truth.
     What is that, really?

We each hold a version of reality,
     our own reality,
          so close to us.

Held so tight
     against our breastbone
          that anything else might
               sound like a falsity.

Our own story…
     where we have been,
          what battles we have fought,
               what wounds we carry within,
                    and what scars cover our skin.

The rest,
     is truly left,
          for the universe to hold.

To hang on it’s fingers
     hold tight in it’s grasp
          woven with threads
               of angst from our plight.

Held against our own reality
     a comparison in view
          we may see the light
               we may just see the truth.

On Meditation...

Sitting. Feeling silence enfold me. Pushing away the thundering of thoughts that plead for my attention in place of silence. My breath becoming more of a joy than a natural, unthought of occurrence. Each inhale sweeter than the last and each exhale deeper and more honest than the one before it. I feel the air swirl around me, dancing on the energy in its presence. Holding onto the comfort and stillness that is now. Enjoying the solitude in this present moment. Hearing the bells chime…Coming to, feeling the peace and wholeness that I’ve been longing for. Wondering, why don’t I do this more often?
