193: Just Breathe

Breathe
slow down
stop.
Beware the shuddering gasps
of sustained busyness.

Pause
settle
permit yourself to be soothed.
Surrender your problem solving
and follow your breath
slowly
slowly
pieces of puzzle
slide into place.

The picture appears
perfectly formed
sense bred from senselessness
solutions found
false starts abandoned
plans formulated
power to push onwards found
summoned by the breath.
