2 Heart it! 75

I found myself writing this poem to inspire me to come back to this space of beingness.  I find that in this hectic life that we live in, we are constantly in the doing and are estranged from the being. 

I experienced this first hand after traveling to Poland and having an adventure of a lifetime and yet, I was DOING so much and not taking care of my being.  After the trip I found myself sick and now being forced to just BE. 

It’s interesting that when we are forced to slow down, we must, but we typically don’t choose that in life.  We are in the mode of doing so much that we lose focus on just existing and living in the now…being present with what is. 

When we are being, we let go of trying to do something, of trying to change and just accept what is and move with the tides of life.  When we come back to this space of the breath we become immersed in the presence of the now which is where all the magic occurs.

BE

Moving so fast,

Having to relearn just how to be.

What does it mean to be?

For me,

Be present,

Be alive in the now,

Allow what is to just… well, be. 

We don’t know where we will end up.

I promise though, if you rush the process, you will miss out in the little things that make this life so worth it.

So today,

Slow down,

Take in a deep breath,

and just Simply BE.
