Just Be

This is a day to be quiet,

A day to open doors that haven’t been opened in a long time.

Cold, bright, still, this morning,

a new chapter is inviting you.

Just be

As long as you can, resist the impulse to

Brew tea, pick up the paper,

Arrange flowers

Set the table

Worry the details.

Just be

Acknowledge all that you don’t understand

All that needs healing, resolution, letting go.

There is a new spaciousness to the cosmos

It wants you to

Be.

Just be

To rest from efforting into acceptance,

From fear to love.

There is no death in this life

That won’t be transformed

By a gesture you cannot yet imagine.

Just be

As freedom unbinds you.
