Here Between Two Friends

Here and Now
Scaffy

Today I created. I stretched. I even played with altering my state.
And now I feel scattered and tired.
This isn’t procrastination.
This is my system recalibrating.

I release doubt.
I release shame.
I am more than the rise and fall of my energy.
I am the one who witnesses.
I am the one who creates.

Here and Now, I choose presence.
Here and Now, I trust my timing.
Here and Now, I am whole.

I woke up I stretched
I reached deep in my heart
I sang and slept
But something has left

I feel scattered and tired
Moving through glue
There is doubt and shame
Hovering around me too

I recall words that just today I wrote
Echoed by a pastor in one of those universal inside jokes
That we must realize that the presence of love
And how we attend to our minds is how our bodies evolve

So I remind myself:

The doubt and the shame
Can float far away

Suffering and pain
Are signals for feel

I listen for the whisper, for rarely its loud
To say, “Hey move now, move now some ground”

And when the signal is pause, I look for respite
And give Grace for each breath that I take
Whether it is strong, deep, and full
Or shallow, rapid and dull

I see this as reminder that
It’s all here and now
