Every time I sit down to write, my anxieties flood through my mind and make it hard to concentrate. I’ve been meditating a bit before I start, and I decided to write down my thoughts:
Step Into the Storm
It roars
Square your shoulders
Let it blow
Breathe
Move forward
Step into it
The debris collides with you
Let it blow
Breathe
You’re still standing
Move to the center
Move to the calm
Let it blow
Breathe
Watch the moving pieces
Fear Family Shame Dread Accusation Anger Grief Failure Anxiety.
Let it blow
Breathe
It won’t stop you
Let it blow
Breathe
Move to your desk
Let it blow
Breathe
Pick up the pen
Let it blow
Breathe
Face the blank page
Let it blow
Breathe
Do the work
Let it blow
Breathe
