LET GO
Of the guilt
That shames you away
From allowing
Your body to heal.
LET GO
Of the need
To constantly be moving.
It’s okay to rest
And be still.
LET GO
Of the push
To always be busy
In a culture
That tells you-
You must.
INSTEAD,
Give yourself permission
To pause and reflect-
Away from
Society’s rush.
Take in some deep breaths
And push them all out
To release,
Reground,
And reset.
Tune out
And take time
To recharge
In the silence-
How quickly
We all forget.
Allow the warmth
Of the sunshine
To rest on your face
As you slowly return
To center.
This sacred space
Is where healing begins-
Because the outside world
Cannot enter.
