Harnessing Peace 4/2/20
Waking in the morning
I feel a surge of ever-so-slight discomfort of mind
Understanding the call from my agitated body
Whom I respectfully call ‘Sage’
In the dark, I take refuge in a cushioned chair
Sitting quietly upward, and awake
Wrapped in a warm blanket
I close my eyes and cultivate stillness inside
Merging with the stillness of this early morning
Escaping into the depths of my breath
My body quickly lightens
My heart floats upward into my head
Rescuing me from the minefield of my mind
Comforting the worry and intense discomfort
That permeates mine and most every being’s soul
Gently whispering
She tells me that everything will be okay
She suggests that we all be still and absorb
Mother’s Earth’s rising energy and strength
She explains that Mother Earth too has a soul, like me, like us
She tells me that people are awaking upward
And caring for each other
For as we all face death, and life, we have a new lens
Clearly seeing that which is most important to our life journey
Where time may be crossing the finish line at any moment
She explains that humanity too will rise with her
As long as we preserve our precious hearts and
Are kind to our hostess, our Mother, Earth
Stepping back into breath and grounded, I open my eyes
I gaze out the window delighted to see the sweeping clouds
That have just parted, creating an opening
For the sun’s rays to shine upon the earth once again
‘Another perfectly timed synchronicity’, I say to myself
In just that one moment of quiet and peace and openness
I take another quiet breath knowing
Everything WILL be okay
