Now is the time. The time to let go Of panicking about panicking. To put down that self criticism That you should somehow be better prepared, or more resilient. In this shared messiness That is this human existence, Hold your head up. Be here, Just as you are. You are enough. The doubt, The fear, The panic, The despair, The pain, The exhaustion, The guilt or shame. Lay them a place at the table so that they might be heard. Yet know you are not them, and they not you. Feel your feet. Feel the ground. Feel the ground through your feet. Feel grounded. Let the weight on your shoulders flow down through your feet and be held by the Earth. Take one step at a time. And tread lightly. Through This, long, night. By Peter Morgan Tags: Acceptance, humanity, grounding |
