Frantic
Exhausted
Overwhelmed

Let yourself arrive here
An invitation
For your body to soften
Your nervous system to exhale
The restless river of thought to quieten beneath the noise of life
Beneath the stretch
A soft undoing…..

Finding its way through the senses
A signature of each moment
The kitchen after baking
Sweet and warm and lovely…..

Chopping herbs for cooking
Watching the dappled sunlight

Maybe only in small ways
But in ways that mattered
May I know my own heart
Fully and deeply…….

The still-warm sweetness of the tart
Let it melt, bloom, linger on your tongue
Lick the spoon
Let the juice run down your wrist…..
