A rushing kind of a day

Deep within the demands of work

Deadlines loom

So I concentrate

Focus

Get things done

And forget myself

–

Now it’s evening and

I peel myself away from the TV

Put on some music

Slow down into

Familiar movements

–

An hour later

I re-emerge

Relaxed

Refreshed

Calm

–

Reawoken to the truth

That if I slow down

Underneath the rush

Below the fear, the fuss, the resistance

Peace is always waiting
