Slow down*

I am a person, I live in my body I hear the bird and I notice my coffee Cup painted yellow, I'm glimmering here in the sun This is my practice, relaxing my tension Using my brain to direct my attention I sit and look, feel, and find out what you find I'm smart, I'm wise I love it when I let myself try I grow, I climb, I'm just beginning I'm giving it time Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here I'm learning, I'm growing, I'm stretching my vines Cracking the pavement, I'm finding light I'm in my chest, I'm in my breathe I'm holding my heart, so tender and smart Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down, be here Slow down Slow down Slow down Slow down
