Grounding

Take a breath.

Take a deep breath.

Take a second to pause.

To let the environment swell.

The scents of flowers blooming,

Of grass freshly cut.

Embrace the aroma, nature's perfume.

The serenity and comfort it brings.

Feel the breeze,

The air that gently grazes the skin.

Hear how it ruffles the leaves,

A part of a perfect symphony.

The sounds of joyous laughter.

People enjoying nature's bounty.

The animals and insects working together,

In perfect tandem.

Feel the ground, the grass,

That provides our foundation.

Feel the bark on the trees,

The wood for building, for warmth.

Take a moment.

Take a pause.

Stop and be present.

Feel the serenity and ease,

The quiet and comforting spirits.

We all wonder and chase,

Without ceasing.

Forgetting what is around us,

What is right in front of us.

Stand still,

Be present.

Take a breath.

Take a deep breath.
