Retreat Day

Today is my retreat day
I preserve this time to give a break to my brain
Let it rest and cease motion
Connect with the divine and other sacred notions
These moments of pause are an important cause
Nothing will deter me from holding this space
I’ve been learning, and I see now what I truly need
Life is not about keeping busy or pouring myself out to save the world
I’ve got to nourish my soul, give my spirit room to breathe, allow myself just to be
To acknowledge any of this was a grand feat
Making and honoring this commitment requires true love and even bravery
I made it here finally, and today, Self, it’s all about you and me
