(you can read this poem yourself and you can also listen to me read it)

every morning, my alarm goes off
hey pace get out of bed
hey pace shower
hey pace pajamas
hey pace Remembrance
and then
every morning, my most important alarm goes off
it says

“how do you want to feel today?”

and i say:
wholehearted
radiant
on my path
delight
love +
gratitude.

the tedious bullshit to-do item
i approach with rest and with music and with fullness
i feel wholehearted

the butterflies-in-my-stomach putting-myself-out-there
i step into my power
i feel radiant

the scattered tangled threads of the day
i weave into a tapestry of meaning
i feel i am on my path

a tiny little beautiful flower
i might have overlooked
but i notice
and i feel delight
because this morning my alarm asked me

“how do you want to feel today?”

and i said:
wholehearted
radiant
on my path
delight
love +
gratitude.

kyeli asks me for a favor
i grumble and execute it efficiently
no wait
i slow down because i remember
i look into her eyes
and i feel love

at the end of the day i look back
and i
feel
so much
gratitude

because this morning my alarm asked me

“how do you want to feel today?”

and i said:
wholehearted
radiant
on my path
delight
love +
gratitude.
