relaxation

often we are doing something along
the lines
of holding our breath

waiting for
"something bad to stop"
or
"something good to start."

a minor problem with this:
we miss the now

.......
the birds fly to their nests,
the sleep
or
to feed their babies

somewhere
or sometimes
they must make birdie love

else where do those eggs and
babies come from

and they are just
doing what they are doing
and that's good enough for them

......
we have long hard days,
sometimes

how can we lean into them
and breahte
and sense our bodies

and relax?
