Notes About The Poem

Smallest Rituals

Listen to poem:
What better way to cherish your soul
Take time out
Stop and offer that most precious commodity
To light a candle
Burn some incense
Take a couple of deep breaths
Relax till harmony sets in
Honour that sacredness within
That we so carefully protect
Pause and stretch
Celebrate and rejoice
Grateful for sunshine, clouds or both
Thankful for this precious life
And all its challenges and bounty

How right you are Line, we all need to take time off from our sometimes busy lives and treat ourselves to 'me' time. Tom
