Take a moment
To rest
Ere you once more
Take flight.
Let the weariest
Parts
Lean their weight
With foresight,
For the breath
That will come
Delicate
In the light.

Delicate Rest
Breathe
A Different Kind Of Home
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
A moment
For the memory of
A different kind of home,
Where sun sparkles
On the water
And you feel your soul
Fold along the crease
Of rolling foam,
And where your spirit
Sings the song of places
It has long known
How to roam.

One man.
One sail.
One boat.
One day.
The rock of waves
Holding a sway,
He grasps the bar
Through misty spray,
As mountains loom
In white and gray.

A pink perch
For the flutter
A brief pause
On the fly
For the moment
That lapses
As a breath
Passes by.

Recharging Place

The green lung of the City
In verdure cape
Blooms anew.
Living room and backyard
It knows just
What to do:
Communal Central Park
Breathing life
Into you.

In a Flap?
Photo: Atara Katz
If the world’s feverish frenzies
Get you all bothered
And frantically het up,
Take a breath
Form a pause
Find a foothold to grasp,
Nothing good ever came
From fluttering in a flap.

Beaches with sprawling, gentle surf are among my favorite things in the world. Long, shallow waves that coat expanses of sand evoke an instant relaxation response in me, and this glowing photo taken in Australia is no exception. The light on the water deepens the magic and transports me to time before time and this very moment in time, where the steady breath of the ocean pulses the very heartbeat of Earth and moon and sun.

Breathe in
Breathe in the scent of spring
The fragrance of new growth
Of verdant leaves
Of rain
Of flowers.
Let new life fill your lungs
Your heart
With light
Perfumed by sun
And sky
And sudden showers.
Breathe in your fill
Of hope
Of splendor
Stock up your mind
With awe
To brighten
Any dreary hour.

Know Beauty
Find a place of beauty
Find a place of glow
Fill your heart with all that lives
Be soothed to breathe, to know, to flow …

Perspective …
Life rushes by.
Essential tasks tick looming.
Hardly a single second left to breathe …
Slow down … take heed …
Even in the midst of chaos,
the heavy endless canyons of dark asphalt,
and sky-high gray concrete,
even in the angry honking of a thousand yellow taxis,
in the press of harried people on the streets,
in the tasks that frustrate waiting,
in the overwhelming wish for time and needs–
Pause now.
Find perspective.
Take a moment.
Change your point of view to rise above
and slow the moment’s speed.
It’s there. Believe.
Even in the concrete jungle
There’s a wide green lung
Awaiting, present; a potential reprieve
A slower pace
A gentler space
Reminding you to pause and breathe …
Na'ama Yehuda
