a stillness

a song of rest and trust

Love, You are making
a stillness of me.

I no longer chase.
I no longer flee.

But rest in You
attentively.

Grateful to Breathe,
content to Be.

In trusting, I am strong.
In quiet, I am free.

A lot of folks, upon the occasion of the new Gregorian calendar year, were choosing a "word of the year" as a sort of intention and guide. It's never easy for me to choose or focus on one thing. Maybe it's my neurodivergence, maybe it's being a Gemini. Maybe it's both! <wink> I am not a this or that, either/or sort of person. I am a both/and sort of person. And so I have three words for the year! 
Trust. Rest. Attention. 
The first two have been pursuing me relentlessly for years. The third one, Attention, is something that feels crucial to my wellbeing right now. 
I think if we look closely enough, we will find that the root word for every word we choose to guide, heal, and help us and others is Love. 
Trust+Rest+Attention= Love 
Wouldn't be the first time that Three ends up equaling One. 

In Love,
