Brialee Turner

Today,
I woke up,
And I found myself.

No rushing,
No cutting,
No lines to wait,
Or people impress.

Only stillness.

And the finding
Wasn’t a looking,
Or a searching,
Or a changing.

It was a knowing.

Only the silence
Of myself,
My body,
And my mind
Could teach me
Of my purpose.

Giving ourselves away
To find truth hurts us.

Today,
And every morning,
I will wake up
And choose to find myself,
Only stillness.
