Sometimes what we most need
Is to put our pen to paper
Or our feet to the pavement
Or our fingers to the piano keys
Or our ear to the birdsong
Or our face to the sun
Or our arms around our dear ones
Or our feet up before us
Or water to our lips
Or our toes in the sand
Or our voice to song
Or our head upon the pillow
And to breathe deep
And start anew

A self-care list for us all! And a wonderful reminder that it’s okay to just pause and be,instead of trying to be all for everyone. I needed to read this today; thank you!

I love this poem. The repetition is very effective, giving the poem musicality. It’s quite lovely. Now I’m thinking about other things we need, but I’m also thinking about silly things, too, such as the meme I saw today that says, “Marked safe today from buying a bible from the antichrist,” so I’ll add the need for laughter to that list.
