WALK SLOWLY
~ by Danna Faulds
It only takes a reminder to breathe, a moment to be still,
and just like that,
something in me settles, softens,
makes space for imperfection.
The harsh voice of judgment
drops to a whisper
and I remember again
that life isn’t a relay race;
that we will all cross the finish line;
that waking up to life is what we were born for.
As many times as I forget,
catch myself charging forward
without even knowing where I’m going,
that many times I can make the choice to stop,
to breathe,
and be,
and walk slowly into the mystery.
