Stand Out in a Busy World

I refuse to shout over the noise.
My signal is clear,
audible to those who are listening
to those who desire to hear.

Are you tired of shouting,
of straining to be heard
over the cacophony of conversations?
Why do you abuse yourself
by rushing to keep pace
with a rhythm that isn’t yours?

It’s time to break free.

Unburden yourself
from the weight of
expectations and assumptions
that have pushed you down.
Unshackle yourself
from cultural conventions
and conditioning
that have constrained
the mobility
of your mind and body.

Let your spirit soar.

Step out of time
to find yourself in time.

Find ecstasy in the emptiness
and solace in the silence.
Create space
for wandering in joy.

Relish the being that you are.

Savor the sweetness of slowing down.
Embrace your own pace.
Dance to the beat of your own drum.

In a world that is
moving ever faster
stand out
by virtue of your stillness.
Turn down the volume
on your feed
and listen
to the song in your soul.

The music playing there
is longing to be heard.
