Worth It

Waking up earlier to fit in some meditation time has been worth it. The practice really does build upon itself, with every session I feel more comfortable with the process and less judgy about my mental state. Some days I am calm and smooth, and some days, like today, I have been running responsibilities in my mind since 5am. Days like today are the ones in which I am grateful to have the habit to sit down and watch it all. I am a lot more tolerant, and love can fill me up a lot quicker.

Now… To the practice – I go.

Opening That Door

“Tears are words that need to be written.”
(Paulo Coelho)

 


She heard a knock
At the door of her heart
Getting louder and louder
Until a pain emerged
Taking over her whole chest
‘Guilt, I know your call’
She says in a deep voice
‘I know why you are knocking’
She says with a heavy heart
She knew it right then
To allow the heaviness
To open up to pain
As it was calling her
Reminding her of kindness
Speaking to her about patience
She knows she can’t erase the past
But her heart always tells her
To just keep trying and by
Opening that door
She just got better

 

 

Sometimes we do things we regret.
It’s okay.

A Special Heart

“To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.” (Unknown Author)

Isn’t it odd
That in this day and age
Of instant communication
We feel more
Misunderstood
More repressed
More inauthentic
Than ever
The time has come
To break all the walls
To look deeper within
To find our own voice
And when we speak
We want to be heard
We want to be seen
For what we are
In this day and age
What is of value
Is a Special Heart
So let’s truly speak
But let’s truly listen
Listen
Listen
Listen
