go gently...

while doing my daily journaling

i am noticing that softness, gentleness 

don't seem to come naturally to me. 

especially not towards myself. 

and yet i am discovering that the best way 

for me to be, to keep moving, to find my feet, 

is to go gently. 

"return to softness again and again"

is becoming my new mantra.

my key to moving one small step at a time, 

my key to hear the quiet whispers within.
