Let me take you on an adventure
You don’t even need to close your eyes
Just follow these simple words
STOP
Just for second
What do you hear?
Outside, around you. Plenty of different sounds perhaps
And inside?
What’s that sound?
It’s a bit quieter
Just beyond the rising and falling of the breath
Can you hear it?
Maybe you can feel it?
Like listening through your chest.
It’s your heartbeat
It’s not stopping
Even when you don’t notice it
It stays beating
Even when you’re sleeping
Even when you’re stressed
Even when you’re laughing
Even when you’re feeling sad
It doesn’t let you down
Like your pet or favourite teddy
But even better
It loves you
Unconditionally
No matter what you do
You are loved
So maybe just allow
This faithful friend
To be an anchor
A reminder of how lucky we are to be here
No matter what anyone else says
Or does
No matter what thought you might have
You have this
For the rest of your life
Your heart just IS
Now and now and now
