As it Is

Set down the rush

and rest a moment

in the quiet truth

that this breath

is enough.

The world asks for so much—

but the sky does not hurry,

and still it glows.

The trees do not strive,

and still they rise.

The river does not force its way,

and still it finds the sea.

Let life be

what it is,

not what you fear it should be.

There is calm

in meeting the day

without wrestling it,

balance

in standing where you are

without demanding more,

contentment

in letting the small, soft things

be the anchors they’ve always been—

warm light,

a steady inhale,

a quiet moment

with no expectation.

You don’t need to chase peace;

you can let it arrive.

It finds you

when you stop reaching forward

or backward

and simply open your hands

to now.

Life as it is

has room for you.

Room to rest,

room to breathe,

room to simply be.

And in that gentle space

between effort and ease,

you may discover

that enough

was always here—

waiting for you

to notice.
