Introduction
Peaceful in the moment
Tranquil in your soul
To reach a state of balance
Seems to be the goal.
A point where cares are absent
Or maybe put on hold
Often redefining
The many rules were told.
There is no need to journey
No need to get away
Just carve out a moment
And enjoy it every day.
The moment will embrace you
Take time to give it care
Finding the serenity
Of just being there.
by Robert Longley
In our world, crammed with bustle, distractions, and endless noise, you may feel the need for some peace. I created the Daily Balm messages to flow soothing energy and kindness into your daily round, and this is a monthly collection from May 2022.
With much love from our home to yours.
