as you move through the day,
may you know it’s okay
to create a little space,
to let this day be
what it needs to be.
and however you can,
create room to simply breathe.
for you have already been through
so much,
and to simply breathe
through this moment
is more than enough.
inhale,
exhale,
and pace yourself
through the landscape
of the day,
gathering what you need as you go.
grace,
gratitude,
space,
hope,
joy,
love,
rest,
room to feel what you need to feel,
room to grieve,
room to embrace gentleness,
slowness,
room to learn what it means to be free,
room to breathe,
room to
breathe.
in your stillness, in your motion,
in your silence, in your song…
breathe.
-Morgan Harper Nichols
