Distraction
I feel it everywhere
pressing in
pushing me around
my weight
cellulite
not done to-do list
failures
dirty shower, dirty floors
unmet family expectations
petty relationship stuff
my eyes on me
and I am trying to grip
the present
eyes trying to look at God
from the
tugging
pushing
flashing
to breathe
to get perspective
to still my body
still my mind
space
space for the Holy Spirit
space for the truth-words
speak them to my spirit, Lord
speak them again and again
let me rest in you
