Most of the time
We have to break
Before we realize what’s at stake
The subtle signs pass by us
Without any luck
Until one day
We realize
We’ve been struck
By lightening or so it seems
What happened to our old ways of being?
They were no longer serving us
And finally the mind-body decided
It was time to be seen
You see, we’re in a constant state of healing
And if we don’t work with these feelings
They can leave us reeling
The beautiful news is
We can choose to pay attention
Long before any harm is done
This awareness acts as a harness
To the rest of the process
Once we’re aware
Anything can happen from there
We could reflect on what’s possible
Take action on what’s next
Or simply be present
Whatever you choose
You’re choosing You
And that’s the best thing you can do
When the mind-body is asking you
To show up for You
