just like monkeys jump
from tree to tree
in the canopy 
of the jungle
our thoughts mimic them
in the race 
to the end
jumping from one thought
to the next
and leaving 
the previous concept
abandoned 
and forgotten
on the stump
behind us

stop 
the mind motion
sit down 
on the branch
that is holding you now
notice the leaves
the sap
the colors
the new growth

it is in these small moments
of stillness 
where you will find
the reassurance 
that you are enough

you
are 
enough
