That Voice

You recognized that voice.

The voice that asks about awareness.

Are you aware that you are aware?

Are you aware that you have a body 

that helps you sense through the day,

helps you care for yourself

and others?

The voice, your voice,

clear and nurturing

that wants to see you thrive,

wants to see you live to your 

fullest potential. 

What are you afraid of?

That you won’t get it all done.

That you'll need buy-in from others.

Why is it so difficult to sit around 

and chit chat on those large

rounded boulder rocks in the park? 

After all, what if it is

all much ado about

nothing?
