First, Silence.
Inwardness, recollectedness, receptivity.
Self-care.
Quiet stillness.
Slowness.

Slowing,,,,,, slowly, slowly,,,,,,

Experiencing the present moment, witnessing That which Is.

Compassionate Self-listening, holding space for Truth.

Releasing pressure to do.
This is where I begin.
With Presence to share.

I am here right now.

I am free
I don’t have to do anything right now
I have time and space

…
To be myself.

Humble gratitude, awe, and wonder for this miracle Midas Moment of Life…
…an independent, abundant flow of ever changing experience, through horrors and delight…. round and round

I am not the Doer,
I surrender illusions.

Right now, I have no need for more.

Turning inward, I appreciate the empty Void of Silence within.

And I will watch as the next moment unfolds, and the next
