"The key is to be here, fully connected with the moment, paying attention to the details of ordinary life. By taking care of ordinary things-our pots and pans, our clothing, our teeth- we rejoice in them. When we scrub a vegetable or brush our hair, we are expressing appreciation: friendship toward ourselves and toward the living quality that is found in everything."
~Pema Chodron

Grey fog


Today 
autopilot takes control 
guiding each step, each movement, each breath 
The grey fog settles, wraps itself around 
cloaking beauty and joy 
It constricts and chokes forcing tears to tumble 
A howling sob  
lies stifled, aching to roar but repressed 
lest its leap leave only hollowness and cracked walls
