As another day engulfs me,
may coherence find me.
May it protect me
from the day’s tsunami of to-dos.
May I not be engulfed by the surge
that threatens to drown me
in undone-ness and not-enoughness.
May memory be a protective seawall
to re-call me:
it’s all about the breath.
Breath of Life, Source of Calm,
breathe into me.
Send waves of your calming Presence to remind me—
multitasking is a sometime-necessity.
Not a way of life and peace.
Amen.
