In the stillness, 

My tongue tastes each sip 

of my coffee

In the stillness,

My teeth grind every bite

of my food

In the stillness, 

My eyes linger over each word 

I read

In the stillness, 

My fingers 

languorously write every letter

In the stillness,

My hands slowly 

color each petal

In the stillness,

My heart speaks

And 

I hear my thoughts

In the stillness,

I meditate without a timer

In the stillness,

I give my body some space

To crumble and stay

In each yoga pose

In the stillness,

We have meaningful conversations

My husband and I 

In the quiet quiet stillness,

My conscience speaks

And In the 

Unhurried stillness

Of the world,

I become whole again.
