In returning and rest, you will be saved.
In quietness and trust you will find strength. 
–Isaiah 30:15 (The Voice)

I forget
it takes time 
to settle my nervous system, 
takes intention 
to notice 
my feet
aren’t touching the ground. 

All the spaciousness 
I long for 
is right here 
in this breath. 
Everything I need 
has already been given. 

I can come home 
to myself, 
to You, 
to this moment 
now,
in this
beautiful
now.  

The morning glories and the sunflowers turn naturally toward the light, but we have to be taught, it seems. –Richard Rohr
