A strong weariness holds me today, I seem to tire so quickly.

Maintaining relationships is becoming a burden.

My thoughts will not allow me peace.

Let me just be grateful for these moments of awareness.

I can look to the sky, and my thinking will ease.

It’s ok to have these thoughts, and it’s ok to let them go.

I will not let feelings of fear or self-pity energize them.

There is nothing in me to fear, nothing to guard against.

No hidden anger to ambush me, no lurking depression to derail me.

Feelings are the colors that enhance my day, they are not

the hidden motivation that drive my life.

The more they are known, the more helpful and the less powerful.

Another morning of complete stillness,

In the sky, in the trees, and on the ground.

And yet somehow when I don’t oppose the stillness,

It seems like these are the mornings when I feel the most alive-

The most connected.

Maybe it is in non-doing that we accomplish the most.

Let me be grateful for these moments,

When my simple presence is enough.
