Just for now, without
asking how, let yourself
sink into stillness.
Just for now,
lay down the weight
you so patiently bear upon your shoulders.
Feel the earth receive you, and the infinite
expanse of sky grow even
wider as your awareness
reaches up to meet it.
Just for now, allow a wave
of breath to enliven your
experience. Breathe out
whatever blocks you from the truth.
Just for now,
be boundless, free, awakened
energy tingling in your
hands and feet. Drink in
the possibility of being
who and what you really are-
so fully alive that when you
open your eyes the world
looks different, newly born
and vibrant,
just for now.
