Honey child
Your energy introduces you
Before you even speak
Un-hurry yourself
In this age of speed
Where we are bombarded
With information
It is invigorating to
Slow down
Rest your brain a minute
Or longer
In this age of distraction
Turn off the noise and chatter
Focus on this moment
Hear the whisper
Of your own soul
Bask in the luxury
Of awareness
In this age of constant
Movement
Where being busy is idolized
Allow yourself to hit pause
Find a comfortable place to sit
“Do” nothing
Just “be”
High speed internet, busyness
An overfilled schedule
Are all obstacles to attaining
Whatever you are seeking
It’s counterintuitive but it works
Take time to do nothing
And something will occur
Uncomfortable
Yes, sitting with yourself
With your own thoughts
Disconnected from the
Digital world
Listening to your soul
Can be very uncomfortable
The more uncomfortable it is
The more you need it
So take time for yourself
Let go of the pressure to be
Constantly busy
Disconnect
To truly connect
Honey child
You are enough just as you are
But if you insist on being more
Un-hurry yourself
