wondrous present

Slow down

Breathe

Open your heart fully

To receive

The blessing of the sun

The cooling of the breeze

The soft and gentle tenderness

And life giving oxygen

Of green leaves

Allow yourself space

Why does this have to be a human race?

Why can’t we just

Be

Ceasing wanting

Artificialities

Fearing

Struggling

Fighting the flow

Of deep acceptance

Healing

Releasing

And letting go

The past is gone

Is your soul not longing

To come fully alive

In this

The magical

Wondrous present?
