Take a deep breath


Take a deep breath.
Ground yourself in the moment.

as the air rushes in
and dilutes the past;
as the air rushes out
and dissipates the future.

Block your thoughts
with your eyes and ears;
let the images flow in one direction.

Yesterday may have been full of hopes;
Tomorrow, full of dreams,
but all you are is the here and now,
all you are is this moment.

  1. Hey John,

    I know there are no words that can come close to removing the dampening fog of depression and the heaviness that it can bring to ones life.

    I came across your blog from the "Next blog" button on a less than warm day from middle America. I wanted you to know that you are not alone. Granted, I have no idea of the complex and unique person that you are, but rest assured, I will be thinking of you.

    I wish you well, and will stop back by in a few days.

    Fare the well John White.
