today, i remembered to breathe
inhale, exhale.
close your eyes
and pay attention to detail

there is beauty

in sitting still.
where patience
reminds you of free will

focused on existing
right this second.
especially when
other thoughts beckoned

you are a mind
and not just a body.
it’s possible to just sit
and ignore all the bawdy

let yourself be heavy,
or weightless, if you choose.
just be present,
and let peace be your muse.
