We move through our days, full
A jumble of directions, activities and deadlines
Infused with worries and joys
Our minds
They jump from past to future, future to past
And then they circle around again
At times a blur
We anticipate, we remember
Always thinking
Always thinking
But what if
All at once we take a pause
Allow ourselves to become fully present
In this very moment
Aware of our self
Aware of what surrounds us
For here, now
In this very moment
We are truly alive
Our life is actually happening
And this awareness brings life
To our lives
It is when we pause our life, that we can find our life
It untangles us, if just for a moment
From our past and our future
And awakens us to our calm center
The space within us that is eternal
Where our personal truths and our heart
Lay in wait
Patiently,
For us to return
