Take time to stop to slow it down inhale deeply and release all those negative thoughts and fears take time to write, to expose the inner sanctum of your heart and to create inside a space for healing.
Take time to look out and see the small buds on the trees so tiny the promise of their fragrance still buried deeply beneath the spiny bark.
Take time to look out and behold the blue shade of the sky the promise of the day when our masks can be tossed aside and the fullness of our faces can be seen in all their glory.
Take time to notice how you feel today how are you doing? Can you feel the regenerative powers of breath filling your spirit? Or are you barely breathing? Notice that.
Take time to read to be still in your centeredness in your holiness in your mishkan m’at your holy me-at mat place where the space of forgiveness opens wide like a river of kindness and compassion flowing from top to toe widening and expanding.
Take time, make time. For there is only this moment to be enjoyed to be cherished to be shared to bring blessing. Only this moment for self love.
