From where I sit, the clouds
move across the sky faster than usual
It's a day where the weather is
noticeably taking a change for the season
Masala chai spices warm my stomach
and numb my tongue slightly
Breathing in and being aware of
every moment is nothing more than a gift
of understanding
that I am at peace for a few moments
Not because the world has stopped
Not because something has dramatically taken place
or changed
Simply because I have understood my body
I understand each breath going in
and returning to out to be natural,
and recognizing this only proves to me, growth
Personal expansion in the universe once again
Thoughts continuously race through,
don't get me wrong, they always will
And the objective is not to disregard them or dismiss
But hold them in a chamber to understand as they come
When they rush through, nurture them
When they pile high, attempt them
with good intention only
Be at peace the way the clouds move across the sky
