Sit down and drink the coffee
All of it
Better yet, pour yourself some more
Stare at the snowflakes falling lazily from the sky
Let them fall onto your sleeve
Look at them.
Really look at them.
Take the longer walk today
Turn down the road you haven’t gone down before
Notice the yards and houses for the first time
How is that flower blooming in the dead of winter?
That inhale you just took
Did you really inhale?
Try it again.
Fill your lungs.
A little more
Now exhale
Let all the stagnant air out.
Take a little longer in the shower
Feel the warm water trail your skin
Does that email really need to be answered right now?
Finish your breakfast
It will be there when you’re done,
so let it sit there a while longer.
All the noise is there
Waiting for you
Why rush to it?
Little choices
Little moments
Little acts of rebellion
Or maybe call it liberation
Shifting the chaotic noise that is every day life
Into small melodies to get you through every passing moment
