Worried about the future.
Overwhelmed by the present.
Somewhere in the past, 
     summer has come and gone. 
Dreams and plans are slowed down 
       by shelter-in-place orders.
And when do I get to rest and lay my head
       filled with the stuff that we could all use a moment to get rid of? 
It’s all a blur with each day melding into the next 
      and I wonder about purpose. 
Where have I been rushing to? 
There is only time 
     and before we know it we will be back to the grind. 
Just as quickly as Fall has rushed in 
I will take a pledge to sustain ever fiber of my being by 
                            taking it easy.
Embracing the #BlackGirlMagic
            Slowing down 
                  when everyone wants to speed up. 
Connect my heart 
         to myself 
                 and the ones I love.
Where is the joy?
            photography
     music
 dance
             art is everything.
Autumn may have raced in faster than I could count to three, 
                   but I am ready to 
Take It Easy.
