To Still the Mind

and Nourish Its Light

There is a mind that rushes like a stream after winter,
and a mind that waits like a leaf in the morning hush.
Both are yours.
And you may choose, each day, which to become.

We speak often of strength-
but forget that clarity is its quiet sibling.
The mind was not made to carry noise,
but to listen, to breathe,
to sit beside the fire of knowing
and let the embers speak.

Breathe Before You Begin

Before you open the day- breathe.
Before you answer, think, or act- breathe again.
Not the shallow breath of habit,
but the full breath that reaches the belly
and tells your nervous system,
“You are safe.”

Breathe as though the world is not rushing.
Because it isn’t.
Only minds do.

Feed What You Want to Grow

The mind blooms on simple nourishment-
a boiled egg, a bowl of greens,
all from clean soil,
water that has seen the sun.

Don’t wait for a diagnosis.
Feed your clarity now.
Feed your memory with whole foods,
and your focus with magnesium, vitamins,
and the quiet minerals of the earth.

Gather Your Remedies Like Wildflowers

You need not travel far.
Lemon balm waits at the garden’s edge,
and rosemary remembers everything.
Tulsi soothes the weary chest,
and lion’s mane whispers to the brain,
“You are growing, even still.”

The apothecary of balance lives in your cupboard-
and in the old ways.
In teas, tinctures, grounding walks,
and hands that stir without haste.

Let Nature Be Your Rhythm

Sunlight at dawn.
Bare feet on soil.
Wind in the trees when your thoughts knot themselves.
The mind listens to what the body touches.
If your day is crowded,
step out into a moment of sky.
Breathe again.
Begin again.

In Stillness, Things Become Clear

It is not what you take away,
but what you return to.
To clarity.
To kindness.
To the deep, wordless knowing
that you are here-
and you are allowed to rest.
