One person's way of dealing with sress and how she gets through the day.

 

Slowly, quietly, my body raises the breath within me
as a miner raises coal from the earth’s belly.
Slowly, I twist and bend and stretch.
I mine my breath.

Worries, deadlines, anxiety, and fears
disappear into my yoga beam of light.
Slowly, I contract, release, and stretch.
Again, I mine my breath.

Quietly, I go within my pit
for peace, confidence, and serenity.
I mine my breath, breathe deeply,
and tunnel through another day.

Wow, what a beautiful aphorism. Allthough I hope that some days you wake up, jump out of bed and happily go to work.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
