Be Here Now

I feel...

Blessed to be employed,

Concerned for those who aren’t,

Grateful for my loving home life,

Worried for our basic freedoms,

Cautious not to spread the virus,

Overwhelmed by politics & news,

Hopeful for our planet,

Connected yet disconnected to society,

Disinterested in consumerism,

Focused on my health,

Passionate about nature,

Loving towards humanity,

Judgy of closed-mindedness,

Inspired to keep my heart & mind open,

Nostalgia for “normal”,

Excited for change,

Grateful for dogs,

Happy to be alive, safe & healthy,

and

Joyful in the sunshine.

This is life. Be here now. Just breathe.
