Breathe Slow Steady Soft
Breathe in that which slows, steadies,
softens, sparks.
Listen as Julia Fehrenbacher reads her poem -
A Prayer For Every Day
Let me breathe only grace today, only
that which slows, steadies,
softens, sparks
only that which permits
and pardons and points
to the blossoms inside the broken,
the poetry inside the pain, the nourishing
newness inside the now
Let me breathe only grace
today, only that which invites
me to speak my very own
language for as long as I have breath,
only that which hums:
You can.
You will.
Let me breathe only grace
today, only that which notices the tired
and says, lie back, Loveārest
for as long as you need to. It's not
about how much you do
but how full you are.
And, my God, how beautiful you are when you are full.
