Time to Pause

/ moragnoffke 
Time for rest 
Time to dream 
To percolate
To breathe 
To listen 

Time for no thoughts 
Blank slate 
Open vistas 
New canvas 
Silence 

Shshshsh

Opportunity lies waiting 
Ahead ~ no sign
Of anything 
The pause
Before the sound.

Buds turn to flowers 
Flowers to fruit 
Serendipitous fruit 
Of any kind
Your choice 

Shshshsh 

Old Breath breathed out 
Before inhalation of new life

It's good to stop 
And be alone 

Embrace it.










Sometimes being so busy keeps us tapping into cortisol and when the continuous activities stop it feels crazy. Like we don't know what to do with ourselves.





Some people say 'oh I can't be alone with myself ' and others say 'i must be depressed '. It's not true,  you are not depressed and nothing is wrong with you, you have just forgotten how to sit in quiet surrender.










Feel the discomfort of peace, quiet and stillness. Hold your busy mind and just notice all that is around you: the sounds, the sights, the world rushing by. All is well.










It's like coming back to yourself. Greet yourself with kindness. Notice with appreciation all that you have done, all those who love you, and notice these things with joy.





There's no need to busy yourself just yet. Take time to pause. Anywhere. In a forest, at the sea, river, garden or a quiet corner will do.





Wishing you all a light and peaceful weekend

    A lovely poem and wonderful reminder to embrace and quiet and tranquility. I particularly like the “Shshshshsh” lines (they made me smile). 
    

    Wishing you a peaceful and creative weekend, Morag. 🌼
