I am exhausted today
So I decided to show myself
some care and compassion.
I am feeling overwhelmed.
Too many tasks on my to-do list.
Too many voices drowning out my own.
Too many commitments coming up.
Too many plans.
Too much.
I feel stuck.
So I set an intention to be still,
To tune in and listen
To myself.
To rest for a while.
To study for a while.
To clean for a while.
To read for a while.
To meditate for a while.
To write for a while.
The time passed intentionally,
And tasks got done,
And voices were quietened,
And activities were planned,
And commitments added to the calendar.
There’s still things to do,
But there will always be things to do.
Now I feel less overwhelmed,
I can be still and replenish,
Find love and light and laughter within.
