Start Small
Fill your favorite mug and watch the sun go down.
Let your eyes blur with the yellow, red and orange of the disappearing day.
Set aside your phone and read a book.
Or listen to your heart and write your thoughts.
Go for a drive and stop for photos: cows, barns, paperwhites,
Birds roosting in trees--whatever the season offers.
Take a new route and see how your town is changing.
Find a funky shop.
Create pockets of peace everywhere--
On your couch, under a tree, at your table, in your bed.
When we string small things together they feel large.
Then we say, "I can do this. This is good, this life of mine."
