Plum Blossoms in the Rain

Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. - Chinese proverb

Three Deep Breaths

Something Beautiful
Plum blossoms light
Up
A dark gray sky,
While a gently rain
Falls,
Tickling my face.
A rainbow crosses
The sky somewhere.

Breath Meditation
Closing my eyes,
My face softens
Like a rose
Opening,
Taking in the soft air 
Through every petal.
On the exhale, my body
dances,
Flowing with nourishment.
Letting go of demands
And expectations,
I rest in the momentary
Pause.
