A Quiet Arrival

A Quiet Arrival 

There is no need to run toward what’s already within you.

No need to strive, to earn, to become.

The quiet you’ve been seeking

has been sitting beside you all along,

waiting without impatience,

watching as you circle the noise.

Come home, softly.

Not with a grand announcement,

but with the hush of a leaf falling,

the exhale you didn’t know you were holding.

This is the return:

Not to a place,but to yourself.

You are the home

you’ve been searching for.
