Giving myself a day off mid-week was such a treat for the mind, heart, body and soul. After my massage I took a long, slow walk along the river and noticed countless little details even more vividly than usual. I didn’t realise quite how much my system had been needing this spaciousness until I finally listened and responded to its request. How could you create a little spaciousness in your day?
Time Out
When I dial out
the incessant messages
and requests
and demands for engagement
I see the swirling clarity of the restless river
I hear the witty whispering of the speculating sparrows
and I feel the glow of the amicable
autumn sun grazing
upon my tired toes
It is I who creates the take-your-turn texting marathons
the gazillion Zoom gatherings
and the need to be constantly a part
of something else
Just now a hover-fly landed on my hand
and I saw it
I actually noticed it’s gently buzzing wings
and its delicate touch
against my chilly hand
and my insides smiled
with relief
