Peace never wants to go first -

It's gentle, and hangs back and waits.

And if we're not careful

The mind rushes in

With its worries - it quickly creates

The sense that we are not safe;

The notion that we are alone;

The idea that we somehow

Control past and future

And before we know it it's blown

Our heart right out of the water -

That peace doesn't stand a chance now.

We're reeling, and racing, and flooded with fear.

Don't know what - don't know why - don't know how.

But our mind, like our heart, can serve us.

We determine the messages sent.

Take a breath, sink down deep, and remember:

I am safe - I'm connected - I'm present.

I wrote this about a year ago. I have a sinus infection so haven't felt up to writing the last couple of days 💜 Thank you all for your wonderful insights!
