calm

what happens if we're not

busy.

not on the phone,

not taking the next call,

or answering the next

text. what happens

if we're not in front

of the tv, the computer,

not with others,

not sitting still for a brief

moment.

what happens

if we stop.

if we rest.

if we stop making plans,

stop with the projects,

the renovations,

the business that distracts.

what happens

if we stay home

and do nothing.

what happens

if we take a deep breath

and take

back control

of our lives,

what happens next?
