R U OK? In the fray, feeling grey, Moving throug

R U OK?
In the fray, feeling grey,
Moving through the midst of this D-day,
As we live with “come what may”
We ask,
R U OK?
Stresses over dresses, messes, guesses, it all presses…
Down.
Hard.
Always…
May He bless us
We ask,
R U OK?
Ask a neighbour, ask your friend
Jump, sink, swim in that deep end
Let them not expend, descend, pretend
Listen… Try and comprehend
As we ask,
R U OK?
They say no… What happens next?
No special effects, pretexts, complex checks,
No nervous wrecks, no ‘you’ll be fine’-rejects...
Just give them your respect.
When you ask,
R U OK?
Ask the kids, the olds, the mids, the id’s in their despair
We need to know that someone cares
Just sit in prayer, sit and stare, be aware,
Know we can share,
The load you bare.
And we ask,
R U OK?
Make a difference to this place, a face, a race, surrounding space,
With your grace.
Step outside your inward looking and selflessly embrace
Maybe… maybe…
We can help when we touch base,
And ask,
R U OK?

She Let Go by Safire Rose She let go. She let go.

She Let Go
by Safire Rose
She let go.
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…

When The Coffee is Crap. I feel like a coffee grai

When The Coffee is Crap.
I feel like a coffee grain in a giant coffee plunger at the moment: with a slow ceiling of pressure squeezing down on the whole world. There is no escape – the metal plate goes right to the edge sealing you in, and it just keeps coming, pushing down, making us swirl in increasing chaos on the muddy, thick, concentrated puddle of yuck beneath.
Uncertainty, living in a high state of nervousness, isolation, will all do that to you.
I don’t want to be in the boiling bowl of bitterness. I don’t want to be the grain of coffee that’s squashed down and left at the bottom of the beaker, discarded down the drain, useless when this is all over.
Most importantly, I don’t want my kids to end up there – and the kids, they’re not doing ok. They do not have a solid base from which to grow right now – stressed parents, a big old mess of a confusion at school, creativity and the arts taken from them, and that most dangerous of words, suicide, is heavier in the air than any Covid aerosol. Their base is a scramble of chicken wire – all knots, sharp edges and big holes to slip through.
I want them to be ok.
But how to we find our way out?
I’ve been a bit obsessed with this recently. I’ve listened to friends, listened to Oprah, Brene, Deepak, and prayed my palms off. And for me, this is the plan: Focus on the little picture and the big picture.
The little picture is mindfulness. You can’t see a way out of the chaos if you’re looking through a mind muddied by a swirling, intensely brewing pool of stress. So first, we practice Deepak Chopra’s STOP – Stop what you’re doing, Take three breaths, Observe your body and smile, Proceed with kindness and compassion – on yourself. Because if you give yourself kindness and compassion, you don’t even have to try and force it upon others, it just comes. We practice STOP in the mornings when everyone’s losing their shizzle as they get ready for school. I yell “STOP”, someone sings “in the name of love”, the little one’s giggle at their silly mum and the teens roll their eyes, then we pause and do the thang – breath, observe, proceed. It works. It recalibrates – we step outside the stress... (link the in bio)
