Find your stillness

Toss out the haste, the craze, the rat race

British Columbia, Canada — author’s pic

Compare the particles of light shining on water,
as futile as comparing yourself
to the crowds on Instagram or Facebook,
because there’s no two of a kind,
you are unique.

So why hang on to illusions
that working harder, rushing more,
not giving yourself a respite
to notice your constant journey,
would get you closer?

Toss out the haste, the craze, the rat race,
freeze your body in a moment
of your choice, one with fragrance
conceived for your breathing,
that you feel you adore and enjoy.
