Don’t Rush This Day - A Poem from Lighthouse Reef, Belize

Half Moon Caye Belize

We wanted to share this beautiful poem from a guest who stayed with us in April at our Lighthouse Reef Basecamp on Half Moon Caye.

Don’t Rush This Day 
by Cynthia Mitchell, Sunday April 7, 2019. Lighthouse Reef, Belize


 

Don’t rush this day.
Breath rise and fall
on ocean wave.
 
Don’t rush this day.
Presence. Here, now,
flow and ebb.
 
Don’t rush this day.
Lay down set aside
worn patterned ways.
 
Don’t rush this day.
Observe. Be curious
to possibility, Wonder.
 
Don’t rush this day.
Each step
appreciation, gratitude.
 
Don’t rush this day.
Look at your life
with new eyes.
 
Don’t rush this day.
Your one and only life
tender and wild.
 
Don’t rush this day.
Awaken.
Live to the Full.
 
Don’t rush this day.
