Can I have a minute?

Can I have a minute,

just to breathe,

to sit and be still,

and not respond immediately

to everything

and everyone.

Can I have a minute,

to pause,

to reflect,

to not rush past

the 'Selah' of your Word.

Can I have a minute

to grieve,

to recognize 

what I have lost,

and how my life

has changed irrevocably.

Can I have a minute

to choose to say no

to the ever flowing

tide of information,

that demands

something of my soul.

Can I have a minute

to just

be.

We often do not give ourselves time to respond to life in a way that is beneficial to us.

Oh Sarah, to have time, to MAKE time to just be present. It’s so refreshing when I remember to do that. Thank you for this poetic reminder x
