So many things.
So much to do.
So many people, feelings, chores, tasks, just so much everyday.
Every waking minute seems like a whirlwind of tasks and thoughts, “must do, need to do, should get done, wish I could do, should have done, why can’t I just rest…”
Mundane.
Why oh why have we evolved to this?
Maybe we have not evolved.
Maybe we have devolved.
Letting go of healthy things, of better ways of being.
Our ancestors worked in fields all day, or hunted, gathered, weaved, created, built, discovered…
Now we sit, scroll, type, microwave, complain, worry, text, and forget what is real…
We forget what is most important.
We forget how to be human.
When we are able to explore nature, we can be present with ourselves and come back to a center.
Simple things, like listening to the breeze blow through the branches, or watch a squirrel gather food.
We can enjoy slowing down and remember what it’s like to let go of all the mundane nuances of daily life.
We deserve this peace.
You deserve this peace.
Listen to a stream flowing… steadily, gradually, just flowing.
Breathe in the clean air.
Let the breath cleanse you.
Release it.
Do it again.
Smile.
You can relax.
You can rest.
All else can wait, and you can take a break.
Just BE.
You can do this.
Take the time.
Go have your break.
Be here, let it all go and just breathe.
