Breathe
Just breathe.
Wait.
Don't act or react or double back.
Just breathe.
Living in this world of the fast and furious,
To wait seems to be too late
Because you're already behind
Wait...
It's counter-culture
It's not the fight or flight.
It's so simple, it's powerful.
It's so small, yet so big.
With messages like 'Just Do It',
The world runs faster
Because we fear missing out
But in the end, we still lose ourselves
To what others want,
To what others need.
So we fit in,
So we just, please.
Rather than stop
And risk, for life.
And wait and be
At our Lord's mercy.
Just breathe,
Wait.
His timing is perfect,
Just breathe.
Amen

Lent is the practice of sacrifice (going without) and remembrance. This year, I am giving up chocolate and will try to write a poem in my new “Lent Collection” each day. Enjoy!
