Today felt soft ...

Today felt soft. Sweet. Calm.

I began it with listening to my inner voice

which told me surprising things –

truthful things. I realised

it’s a long time since I listened like that.

I wrote down the questions I asked myself

and the answers that came.

Then I placed my hands where, on my body,

I felt the need for a blessing.

I felt myself still. I felt myself breathe.

Simple things, and enough.

(I was following instructions in a DailyOm course I just began: 

Writing Your Deepest Prayer.)
