Sitting In Sunshine 11/19/2021

Feeling tense
Feeling frustrated
Close my eyes
Blocking what’s
Around me
For an emotional storm
Is brewing inside.

Start to
Breathe deeply
Letting myself relax
Allowing my fear
Rise up
To sit with me.

My Soulful Self
Is calling me home
Asking to return
To the peacefulness
Within my breathing.

Softening my thoughts
Allowing me to feel
Grounded
Within my core
As I become the eye
Of my emotional storm.

Focusing on this moment
While becoming one
With my breathing
Staying in this atmosphere
As long as needed.

Feel the love of life
Rise up within
As my fear
Says goodbye for now
While sitting in sunshine
In this moment of time.

No reason
To live in sorrow
When you know how
To breathe
Into every moment
No matter
What is happening in your life.
