Hurry up and Slow Down

Sometimes it seems as though going faster will make all the difference, when really, slowing down is, at times, the best thing we can do.

This world is fast-paced. We live in a time where there are so many conveniences that make it easier for us to constantly be on the go, but how helpful is that for us? Is it really better, in the end?

Eating foods that are prepared and packaged, or out of a hot bin, rarely making anything, let alone enjoying the process of cooking.

Scrolling through newsfeeds to see how our friends, or loved ones are doing rather than reaching out to them.

Time…

Never enough of it, and yet we don’t always appreciate the steadiness of it.

Sometimes we think we need to speed through a meal, a hike, a project, or even a conversation because we, “don’t have enough time”. What is it that makes us this way? And why can’t we, instead, remember that each minute, each moment is precious and we would greatly benefit from slowing down.

This life holds a lot of value. As the clocks tick away, we might start taking more time with each task, when we can, to give it more love and appreciation. Find more ways to take our time, and to remember that it is oaky to slow down.

Hope you have a wonderfully day, and remember, all will be okay, even if it is slowed down.

Much love.

Learning to Let Go

We have come to a place of understanding that who we are and where we are matters. Although, sometimes we can think that what we have and who we have around us is necessary to hold onto.

We hold onto expectations for ourselves.

We hold onto expectations for others.

We hold onto hopes that we have for ourselves, and we tend expect that these things are going to make us feel better.

This is not the case. How we feel inside is what matters. Letting go of what is on the outside and letting go of attachments to all of these THINGS is what he’s going to bring us peace.

How often have you felt as though moving, having more money, having a relationship or physical things will make you feel better?

Your relationship with yourself, your love for yourself, your acceptance of yourself, your perception of yourself, and your ability to care for yourself and your inner world is more important than anything else.

When we learn to let go of what we think that we need and what we think will bring us happiness, we can allow what is really right for us to be known.

Let go of your attachments to people.

Let go of your attachments to physical things.

Let go of your need to be numb.

Let go of your need to look a certain way.

The only thing that will bring you true peace is to learn to love and accept yourself.

You matter.

Your need to constantly be distracted will bring you more and more dissatisfaction.

You are capable of doing so much more than you know.

You are capable of being at peace with less.

You are capable of feeling at peace on your own.

Let go.

Be free.

You are safe.

You are loved.

Allow it.

Accept it.

Feel it.

You are free.

Let it be.

You Whispered to Me

You whispered to me,

through the silence of the wind,

through the quiet of the stars,

in the silence of the trees…

You whispered to me, in my ears, to my soul, from your heart, to my whole being.

You made me whole, with your presence.

You danced with me, on the sands of the beach, as the waves tried to catch my feet,

while my eyes slept, at night, and the moonlight healed my soul…

You danced with me among the trees, in the forest, while I searched for you…

So much time has passed since you left this world.

So many feelings I have had, so many fears I have learned to hold onto.

Now I’m learning to let go.

Yet, even with you gone, I can hear your voice, and it makes me want to hold onto you.

I can feel your touch, when a flower grazes over my skin.

Your songs are now sung by the birds, with the sunrise, each morning.

Not a day goes by that you are not here, with me.

For so long, I have dreamed of your whispering voice, telling me it is all going to be okay.

You remind me that you are here, I am safe, it is okay.

A windy day lets me know you are near.

A rainy day is the skies releasing all of your tears.

Time had felt so slow, but now I know it goes by at the pace of your heart beat.

You are the nature that surrounds me.

You are the breath that moves the winds.

I feel you more now than ever before, as you surround me.

You will always live within me, and now all around me.

You are within every living thing.

There is no death, there is only life that continues on, to an existence continued beyond.

You are each new blossom, full of fresh nectar.

You are each sky reaching tree, that moves, dancing in your winds.

You are each sunrise and sunset, with magical light that heals the soul.

You whisper to me through nature, in all the ways you possibly can, reminding me that everything will be okay.

Let’s dance, while I dream, in the moonlight, until the morning comes, when the birds sing your songs, and as the light of the sunrise welcomes another beautiful day full of so much beautiful life, life here and beyond.

Touch me as I walk through fields of grass and wildflowers that remind my skin how to feel.

Hold me on the mountain tops as I take it all in, and let go of all the fears.

Wash me with your tears, as they fall from the cloudy skies.

Remind me how to live, as I discover new life, each and every day that I am here.

For however long, I will exist here, with you surrounding me.

Whisper to me…

-M.
