The Gift of going slow
The gift of going slow Is something of a gift for those who live below The equatorial line We can learn so much but mostly grow From the inward glow That slowing down can bestow It allows us to move more gracefully …to be in the flow caring more about connection than making more dough […]
A breath for Kai
His lung it deflated The right one Entirely. There was no more air. Not a single drop. And drop it did. completely collapsing. on the other end of the phone he is there. barely. appropriately afraid for his life.
