Ease and Flow

today...moment by moment.

I had a conversation with my mother-in-law last week. I was worried about my son Brindsley. He recently fractured his clavicle and it’s been hard to “reel him in.”

She said, “let it go, worry does you no good.”

I nodded. She’s right.

I want to be that person who doesn’t worry. I want to be that person who—let’s go so easily. Yet I find it’s a daily practice—a daily deliberate practice to ask “how do I want to show up in this moment.”

Oh, how I fail. I don’t show up how I want to. GRR.

The good news is my children are here to teach me.

Today I will be deliberate— “how do I want to show up.”

How about you?

Ease and flow—
Let go
To the wind
To the sky
To the trees 
As I run by

Decide 
with each stride 
to loosen my grip 
of expectations 
comparison and
doubt. Soar like
a bird— I hear 
myself shout. 
 
Inhale and exhale—
Let go
To the wind
To the sky
To the trees 
As I run by.
