Midday Mindfulness II

I give myself a moment.
I take a breath.
And then I tell myself:
It’s alright.

I feel the ground beneath my feet
and steady myself

and start to notice
the HERE
and the NOW.

My thoughts begin to settle.
My mind begins to clear.
I am Peace.

I can watch my worries
gently pop and disappear.
I let things go.
I can say what I feel inside
out loud.
I know myself.

I can share kindness with others.
I make a difference.

I dont need to worry about before or after.
I am in this moment.
I am Peace.

~ Susan Verde, from I Am Peace: A Book of Mindfulness
