Lightly Child, Lightly.

Whispering “yes” instead of screaming no…

Try it. If you’ve tried it before, try it again…

and soften into it…

No need for fancy formulas or prescribed affirmations.

No goal.

Just be.

Right here…

One breath in front of the other.

  1. And why is it that screaming is so much easier than whispering?! ESPECIALLY at the end of a long and difficult day, or at the beginning of a steep mountain to climb….

  2. So very hard to whisper yes when you are feeling unheard.
    I shall breathe deeply, exhale slowly and then whisper yes.
    Thank you, David

  3. Tried once
    Got tired again
    Yes or No
    Doesn’t matter anymore
    Smile with a no 🙂
    is sweet as a yes.
    try it..once.
    try it again
