Quieting the mind

 

I stepped away from my heart...

traveling further into my mind.

The journey takes me far away...

 losing myself to my thoughts...


replaying the old stories...


making up new ones.

The mind looks for gratification...

 seeking happiness outwardly...

looking for validation from others...

 

forgetting who I really am.

The journey back is not an easy one...

I must be intensely quiet...

in the moment...


surrendering the thoughts, stories...

praying, breathing, trusting…
