Gentle...

I feel it in my body. 

In the small of my back, the base of my neck, 

         the place between my brows and in my belly...

The call to be quiet. 

The call to release the woes of my cells 

         into the soft stillness of a higher power. 

To lighten the build-up sludge within my mind

To let go. 

To slow down.

To cleanse.

To savor.

To shine.

Today, it is not about cleaning the floors

     or the dishes or shower,

          or checking off on my to-do list or bankbook

               or de-cluttering my desk 

                      so that tomorrow 

                             i can tackle my tasks Better

                                    and get more Done

                                              and Make things happen

                                                          and become more more More...

Right now, in this time

It is about burning my to-do list

Forgiving my mess

Smiling softly, sincerely at piles undone

In surrender to, 

       but not threatened by

             the shapeshifting flow of Change that surrounds

It is about letting the thoughts roll away as quick as they come

     like water off a feather

So that i can sit in this miracle of a body, 

     that will pass

In this world absorbed by my synapses, 

     that will also pass

And sink into the gentle vibration 

      that is me

            already in perfect expansion.
