Certain mornings,
there are these agitations.
Like these broken sentences.
Nagging feelings
of being not good enough,
of having not achieved enough,
of having not done enough
rise and bind me,
my thoughts.
And as I close my eyes and sit
feeling these agitations,
I bring a thought
and hold on to it,
‘I am enough, I am good enough.’
Another thought gets linked to it
‘I am a human being, not human doing.’
These two thoughts
start creating a space
pushing away the agitations
creating a feeling of calm.
Another thought enters,
‘It’s okay, it’s okay. Achievements are not everything.
Sometimes, these moments of stillness are valuable too!’
More space, more calm.
And these oscillations come to a halt.
