Just a little poetic ramble about life as mom, not working and trying to stay grounded through prayer and meditation…
Maintaining Stillness in Time
As the clock tics busy like the bee,
I want to join in it’s syncopated paragon.
I want to compete with time
Outsmart time
and win the race
Thoughts scramble to control my decisions
I SIT.
As the minutes pass
I practice counting my breaths
until I forget about the counting
and focus on the sensations of breath.
The cool inhale within my nostrils
The diaphragm expanding
The warm sensation as I breath my mouth
My lips becoming slightly chapped
I am tempted to lick them but I know that will only provide momentary relief, so I remain still.
SIT.
I should be cleaning…
Let go…
SIT.
I should be working on resume…
SIT.
I should call…
SIT.
I should…
Let go of the “I shoulds…”
SIT!
I…
Let go of the “I, me, myself…” Shed the ego that confines you…
———-Be Still————–
Finally, I quiet my thoughts for just long enough to receive the blessings of the universe…
The awareness of truth, light & beauty in stillness comes back…
I have finally emptied my mind just enough to let God back in.
My freedom. My salvation. My Surrender to God’s TIME has paid off. I sat still and he listened. I prayed and he came. I relinquished control, and he provided comfort and relief. Thank you God, the universe and all higher spirits everywhere for showing me how to sit and be still.
Practice.
Daily.
SIT !
Here is a quote I have on my mirror to remind me:
“Don’t just do something, sit there!”

I used to meditate quite regularly before I got pregnant. After, I just felt like I didn’t have any more time for that; I had work, a new lifestyle, a lot to learn. .. This would have been the perfect time to find that peaceful moment with my inner, but I didn’t push hard enough to stick with it. Thanks for this post, it helped me remember how great and insightful meditation really is. Hope to read new posts soon. Stay blessed
