“Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let
your body relax and your heart soften.”
― Jack Kornfield

These days I find it hard to breathe
so much takes my breath away
much like a punch in the stomach
hatred
anger
greed
bigotry
people dying
people wanting people to die
my own fears
it all assails me
a frontal assault
and I am left
gasping
Ah Sacred One
remind me to breathe
remind me to slow down my mind
my heart
my breath
help me to stop the world
as it spins
if only for a moment
and breathe
reflex
calm
let me touch the Sacred deep within
and find peace
before I act
before I react
before I speak
before I harm
left foot, right foot, left foot, breathe
