Tender Self

What do you love, what brings you some release?

What moves you to exhale, what helps your heart to sample peace?

When’s there a thrill to your voice, a playful focus of the mind,

A settledness of spirit, unfolding colours more defined?

What helps stir the conditions for creative curiosity?

A momentary feeling of nowhere else to be

Where time can have a rest and isn’t vying for first place

Instead there’s wholesome presence and a sense of precious space.

In which moments have you noticed gentle anchors through your feet?

How can you next explore that world, your tender self to meet?
