Right Now

It’s quiet.

Now.

It’s quiet now.

Not often,

But it is right now.

And I can hear my own heart beating.

My breath.

In.

Out.

In.

Out.

Slowly.

I close my eyes.

Still.

“Be still and know that I am God.”

That’s easy to do right now.

In the quiet, the dark.

And even though I’m tired.

I stay awake.

To feel the quiet.

To hear nothing and everything.

And to be still.
