Creating space

in the only time we'll ever have

if
life moves too fast
you can’t slow down
there’s no time to think
working around the clock
not enough hours in the day

then
it’s not more time you need
(which would fill up just the same)

you cannot create time
you can only manage it

but you can create space

it requires
a conscious choice
(maybe a compromise
maybe a sacrifice)

but you can create space
in as little as a moment

choosing to see instead of know
choosing to ask instead of push
choosing to listen instead of scream
choosing to love instead of fear

you can start
by dropping out
of your timebound mind
of your narratives on repeat
of your urgency and importance

you can start
by dropping in
into the river of your breath
into the galaxy of your body
into the only moment you’ve ever had

this is the only time
there is

this now
this right now
and it offers you

all the space you need
