One Minute Affair With Peace

Busyness presses down, in, around

And the roses grown dim.

Stealing senses

Robbing of smell, taste, touch.

Hamster-wheel mind-numbs

Creating needless constant crisis.

But I steal away.

And breath returns.

One minute

To smile, look, absorb.

One minute

To slow like taffy.

 

A one-minute affair with peace

Restores.

  1. Excellent. Needed this today. 13 hour road trip to Nashville, 1 hour sleep. Wide awake with anxiety about choking on the air with Dave today. I need SEVERAL of these “one minutes”.

    I love that you had to throw some candy in there somewhere, too!
    Classic Andrew.

    1. It’s gonna be a great weekend for you and your family! Congrats!

      And yes, had to sneak some taffy-gooey-goodness in there!

  2. Chuck Swindoll calls them “mini-vacations” and says they are essential . . .

  4. Read this the other day, hopefully it resonates with you as well: “It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts.” – K.T. Jong
