Set things aside

For a bit:

Distractions,

Worries,

Things to do.

Empty myself;

Create a space.

No agenda,

Or plan.

Ring fence the void

Prevent refilling,

Push against

The relentless pressure

To be busy.

Hold the dissonant discomfort,

Stay with the nothing,

Play in the snow* - Just be.

And

See

What

Happens…

*I told Eoin (aged 10) the other day that it had been snowing here in St Beuno’s and that I’d watched the snowflakes falling down. He was deeply envious of me, exclaiming: “Oh mum, you can play in the snow!"
