Just Be Still
























Heart is beating rapidly.
Adrenaline is rising.
Something is happening…

Be still.

This could be what I have been waiting for
Be still.

Or...the end of the world
Be still.

The earth is trembling
Be still.

Voices are calling my name
Be still.

“Go back” they say, then
“Hurry, run here” they say,
Be still.

The fire is burning
Be still.

The revolution is at hand
Be still.

A thunderous roar
Be still.

From this Stillness,
Deep discernment,
Essential Action, 

And Stillness remains.

The sun is shining
The birds are singing
Just Be Still.

What Tennyson Knew


Tennyson Knew…

There is no arrival.
No destination.
No distance.

Closer than breathing
Nearer than hands and feet

I am.
