* Inspiration – Being Present

This is lovely inspiring poem from Danna Faulds. To me it captures the essence of letting go, coming into the present and allowing things to be in the flow of our lives. So, if you have time today, take a moment to settle in and settle back and let the words wash over you … and through your very being. Val x

ocean waves mindful momentBeing Present

Breathe, relax and feel;

take time to slow down

the pace of life. Watch the

rise and fall of moods, the

birth and death of dreams.

Feelings and sensation seem

so real, yet they shift like

changing clouds, and flow

with the high tide out to sea

again. Allow it all to be, no

need to grasp or push away.

Present with each moment,

the whole of you, body, mind

and soul, opens to receive.

Thank you for taking this precious moment to connect.

    1. Thank you Diana … I must admit I had a reaction too. Accepting that its okay for dreams to die as well as birth is not so easy. Yet on reflection, many dreams have to be let go off as we go through life.
