Breathe in,
breathe out,
relax,
quiet your mind,
become One
with the only
Reality
there is…

…if only it were that
easy…

I inhale deeply
and listen to my stomach growl;
I exhale slowly
and realize my mind is already wandering.
I want to relax,
but wonder when I’ll find time
for this
and that
and them
and us.
And then,
I suddenly remember –
quiet your mind –
God help me, please,
my quiet is too weak,
my becoming not enough,
however can You love me like this?

Just then the bird song
floats through my window
and its Love quiets the noise.
