♥Breathe♥

You don’t have to know how it’s all going to work out.

You don’t have to know where it begins and ends.

Just know there is goodness in the middle of this mess.

 And breathe.

You don’t have to be a superhero today.

You don’t have save the world.

Just hold someone you love tightly in your arms.

And breathe.

You don’t have to predict the future.

You don’t even have to see a silver lining in the latest catastrophe.

Just notice the sky above your head.

And breathe.

You don’t have to know all the words.

You don’t have to speak with conviction.

Just say, “I am here,”

And breathe.

I often forget there is something I can do

when I don’t know what to do:

Just Breathe.
