Take a Moment

By Lea Carla Abrams

Check your momentum

Take a moment

To breath slowly

And feel how it makes your fingers tingle

Be still

Take a moment

To breathe again...

And feel the curl of your spine soften and stretch

Hold warmth in your hands

Take a moment

To breath deeply

And feel the heat seep into your muscles, veins, bones

There is always something more to do

There is always something more that’s wonderful

There are always more moments to cram full of more stuff

There are always more people needing more of you

There is always greater and greater muchness in every moment

But you do not need to do or be more right now

Take a moment

To be inside the you that is more than enough

Without a thought

Without a word

Without an action

Take a moment 

To know that

And be that

And then…

Take another moment

And another

And another

And another 

And another

And…
