lay down.
close your eyes &
let all the effort &
anxiety of your
life drain
away.
then breathe
softly and gently
like the soothing
waves of a quiet
sea.
taste the breath.
enjoy the breath.
live the breath.
if there were
nothing else––
here is a
universe of
love––
& the simplest
act of faith is
rejoicing as the
dreaming butterfly you
are.
