Slow down when the noise
of the world is too big
Slow down when your heart
races down into your feet.
Slow down and breathe
calm into your toes.
Breathe deeply, calmly
to ease into late evening.
Close your eyes and sleep
'til the new day dawns.
“Wise and slowly; they stumble that run fast.”
~ Hugh Howey, Wool Omnibus

Sprouts
from seeds
filled with life
grow as we grow
in sun or storm
on prairie
or mountain side
our strength tested
found wanting
or willing to grow
“…surrender to your experience and
the softness that keeps you strong.”
~ Jadine Lydia, The Thing about Resilience
@jadinelydia - original poem
Despite the noisy chaos
of this world
peace settles on my heart
as a dove white feather ~
to tie myself to
the rattle of swords,
the devastation of homes
is of no help.
Pleas for help rain down.
I feel overwhelmed until
I remember my belief in
ripples of calm each life can offer.
Despite the noisy chaos
of this world
peace settles on my heart
as a dove white feather.
“There is peace even in the storm.”
~ Vincent van Gogh
