Stand still

Stand still.

Let go of needing to move,

To take the next step.

Listen

To the noise and the bustle,

The tears and the laughter.

Feel

The pain and the joy,

The tension and the release.

See

The anger and the love,

The closed and the open.

Smell

The fumes and the flowers,

The shit and the food.

Watch

The traffic and the stillness,

The fight and the peace.

 

Taste

The sour and the sweet,

The sharp and the smooth.

Touch

The road beneath your feet,

And the breeze in the air.

Hold the whole world in your hand

And in this moment just love it.

Experience the freedom.

Breathe.

Again.

Smile.

Move on.
