Let Me Be

2/2022

Let the water flow

Bubble and babble over my heart and my mind.

Wash away the day

Wash the thoughts from my ever racing, ever working mind.

Let me be calm

Feel the breath from my lungs penetrate my body and awaken my light.

Feel the day and accept it

Feel the feelings and let them float on, they have no place here.

Let me be aware

Notice my tensions and let them soften.

Notice my thoughts and look at them with curiosity not frustration or worry

Notice my body. Every part. Toes are alive, hands are present, arms are heavy, face is taught.

Let me flow

Flow with the water that is my life

Flow with the changes, and flow with the challenges

Let me flow with acceptance for what comes my way.

Let me accept

Believe that my life has a purpose and the challenges of my day are part of that existence

Trust that this too will be OK

Remember that I am capable, loving, willing

Today does not define my life.

I do not control my life

I breathe. I notice. I flow. I accept what comes my way.

Water flows and covers me. Covers my body, my face, my mind and my heart.

I exhale and feel the bubbles of my breath on liquid. For a moment I am still, submerged and curious.

As I rise, I release the day, ready for what tomorrow will bring.
