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!
Lovely!
