Self Soothing

I can learn new things

I can learn new things

I can notice nuances in simple things

I can perceive…. a vast blue sky

Allowing soaring birds to fly oh so high

a blue sky with white puffy clouds

Changing shapes before my eyes

I can slow down to soak up the sun

And rest deeply in the cool of night

I can slow down to perceive simple things

Like the silence between sounds

Between thoughts, between words

Between the sweet song of birds

I can notice the dew on early morning grass

And the vibrant color of flowers soon to pass

I can appreciate the easy flow of trickling streams

And savor the touch on my skin of a summer breeze

I can slow down to notice all sorts of things like

The taste of yummy foods and the comfort of a listening friend

Thank you for my heart space that knows no end

I can learn new things

I can learn new things

I can notice nuances throughout my day

And when I need soothing

I can breathe

into my heart space

My beautiful heart center

Again and again

as a reminder

that I

can

purposely

awaken

the appreciative observer

who lives within

I can feel how my body wants to relax

I can feel the power within me to give it that

I can soothe myself a little right now

Like a bird gives itself freedom to soar

Like the sun gives us all warmth

I can listen to the silence between sounds

I can appreciate the freshness of dew on grass

The great ease of flowing water

The preciousness of an unassuming flower

I appreciate good foods and listening friends

And my heart space that knows no end

I can learn new things

I can learn new things

I can soothe myself right now

I can soothe myself

I can soothe myself
