Just For Now, a poem by Danna Faulds

Just for now,
Without asking how,
Let yourself sink into stillness.

Just for now, lay down the weight
You so patiently bear upon your shoulders.

Feel the earth receive you,
And the infinite expanse of the sky grow even wider,
As your awareness reaches up to meet it.

Just for now,
Allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience.

Breathe out whatever blocks you from the truth.

Just for now,
Be boundless, free,
With awakened energy tingling in your hands and feet.

Drink in the possibility,
Of being who and what you really are,
So fully alive that the world looks different,
Newly born and vibrant,
Just for now.

~ A poem by Danna Faulds that a friend shared on Facebook. I don’t know what book of hers it’s in, but it sounds like it might be in a book titled, Go In and In: Poems From the Heart of Yoga. It also sounds like things my yoga teacher used to say, and the title reminds me of my Back To Now app.
