I Give My Attention: A Psalm Of Mental Strength

I give attention to my breath,

Knowing that this life is a gift like none other.

I give attention to my body.

It houses the one life I have,

So I nurture it like it deserves.

I give attention to the earth,

Because it mothers all living things.

I give my attention to my companions,

And I'm grateful I don't journey alone.

I give my attention to patience.

It teaches me my need to grow.

I give attention to my soul.

It grounds me to be the best version of myself.

I give my attention to laughter.

It reminds me the world may be dark,

But I can be light.

I give my attention to beauty.

It reminds me to see the good in everything.

I give my attention to creativity.

It keeps me seeing the impossible as possible.

I give my attention to the suffering.

It reminds me of the sanctity of human life.

I give my attention to my own hurts,

Because it helps me know that healing is possible.

I give my attention to silence.

It teaches me to listen beyond words.

I give my attention to joy.

It reminds me that delight is an act of resistance.

I give my attention to forgiveness.

It frees me from the weight I cannot carry.

I give my attention to wonder.

It keeps me young at heart and my eyes open.

I give my attention to grief.

It shapes me into someone more tender and more real.

I give my attention to love.

It draws me into the mystery that holds all things together.
