Slowly, I Return
I lost myself in noise and speed,
In chasing things I didn't need.
But now I walk a softer lane
One stitched with peace instead of pain.
I don't arrive in grand display,
I show up gently, day by day.
A breath, a step, a choice to stay
That's how I find my healing way.
No need for loud, no need for race,
Just learning how to hold my space.
And every time I choose to learn,
A part of me begins to turn.

I love this. It seems so appropriate to me right now!
I appreciate this insight and wisdom from Erin Hanson --
"I show up gently, day by day.
A breath, a step, a choice to stay
That's how I find my healing way."
