When it's over,
A visualization to get us through these challenging times of constriction,
Of distance,
Of coldness.
Whatever's happening right now,
Just stop and breathe in.
Breathe deeply in through your nose,
Holding and then releasing.
Pusing the doors to distractions and noise,
Come home to yourself and breathe in again through your nose.
And fill yourself with vitality,
With life as you breathe out again.
Breathe.
Breathe again,
Breathing through the ice and the cold and the tears and the frustrations and breathe out again.
Come to a place of stillness,
Right leg,
Left leg,
Right arm,
Left arm,
Your torso,
Your back,
Neck and shoulders.
Calm,
Heavy,
Relax,
Just breathe.
When it's over,
We're looking,
We're thinking,
We're aiming,
We're hoping for that time when it's all over.
See the breathing coming,
Wherever you are,
Whatever's happening,
Just stay in this still moment that you're in right now.
Right ear,
Right side of face,
Left ear,
Left side of face,
Chin,
Mouth,
Teeth,
Tongue,
Nose,
Eyes,
Forehead,
Just feeling relaxed,
Warm and heavy.
There's nowhere to run to,
Only this space and keep breathing.
Breathe through the ice,
Breathe through the cold and know when it's over,
We will clap hands once more,
We'll clasp hearts and embrace and hug away the distances that have wedged the gulf between us all.
When it's over,
The warm sun's rays,
Bringing health,
Vitality and joy will be falling on our faces as we laugh out loud in the open,
Fresh air.
When it's over,
We'll be home again and we'll know what it means to be home,
We'll smile again and in moments of quiet repose,
We'll give thanks for all we went through.
When it's over,
We'll see through the veils of ego and pride and naturally stride into fields of humility and grace together.
When it's over,
We'll understand and we'll smile and we'll nod our heads and acquiesce.
Breathe,
Just keep breathing through and know that when it's over,
We will shed the old weary skins that kept the door shut tight and now we can bask in the light together.
When it's over.
