softer pace

Sometimes 
We
Just
Need
To 
Slow down,
Allowing our presence 
To observe,
To chill,
To unwind,
To embody,
Obliging to our soul or heart tugs…
Sometimes
We 
Just
Need 
To 
Surrender to our own nature,
Our own season switching,
Being considerate to ourselves
For ourselves, at this very real
And present moment…
Sometimes
The more we resist 
This everchanging presence need,
The worse it gets for us,
To find that much needed “Me Time.”
So taking it as it comes,
Allowing our hurry to slow down,
To preserve ourselves,
To recollect,
To appreciate,
To sustain,
To provide space,
Perhaps not to heal,
But regain our strength,
Our perspective,
Our thoughts,
What needs done,
Or some strategy that needs reframed,
Or just to catch your breath..
Sometimes We
Just Need
What We Need,
At a more graceful and softer speed,
To be fulfilled,
To be be lived,
And savored.
