There was
a different kind
of rhythm
that came out of
an expanded sense
of self.
Activities most aligned
with peace flowed
easily.
Letting go
of added busyness
and thought
happened most
naturally.
Tag: flow
A Gentler Way
Thought became secondary
to the listening,
a kind of
inside out version
of how it had been —
a way of staying
within a natural flow —
reconnecting with
and exploring
my inner self
and outer world
in a gentler way.
In This Place
Sometimes there is
nothing
but a natural flow,
a stopping —
not needing
to analyze or fix
or try so hard
to heal —
only deep connection
and gratitude
for those who are able
to meet us
in this place.
A Little More
I let go of the ideas I had
about what this outer life
should look like.
And I focused
a little more
on the treasures
I would have missed
if life had flowed
a different way.
And the little parts
of me
that once tried to fit
somewhere else
couldn’t help but turn back
and surrender a little more.
