Hidden in the background

Hidden in the background
Of all that is
The behind-the-scenes

That once was
This now moment

More commonly known as
the past

What once was
Is now
behind

And now we look forward
Only to find

That this now moment
Is only being utilized

By us

As
The bridge to the future
Where we can get lost
Inside
Of all the thinking
There

For what lies
Ahead

And lose sight of all that’s
Right here
now
Instead.

Back to the past
Oh my
What a funny little thing

It is breathing
This second
in this moment now

The past
it’s still here
Living

Dwelling in our being
We can see it
It’s a feeling

And it’s not until
We can simply sit still
That we can sense
That it is stirring

Swirling around
Inside our bodies now
Continually
Without fail

Processing

Things come up
That feely yucky inside
Can also be called
Healing

And sometimes that healing
Feels really hard

Uncomfortable
A bit chilling

It could look
Angry or bitter
Or
Sad

Sunken in
Like a ship without sails
Drowning

In the storms
out on the sea

Churning
And tossing
And turning

The sea
Such is life
Sunny days
Oh so bright

But also

There are days
We are
Mourning

The clouds up ahead
look
So dark
Full of dread

And can feel
Like they’re too much
To deal with
At times

But if we
Just be still
And breathe deeply IN

At will

We will find that
It’s no thing
oh so scary

For it’s simply the past
Yet still
Here at last
today
In it may we discover the blessing

Of that ill and that chill
And is left to be healed

We breathe in and we feel

Life’s amazing.

I love you.

It’s okay to be afraid
Be brave anyway
and
remember that YOU are amazing 🙂

XOXO,
