The Quiet Teacher

I breathe better here. 
Here where sand meets sea, meets sky, 
meets setting sun. Here where I am released
from the burden of trying. 
What seemed so convincingly worthy 
of worry yesterday 
sifts like warm sand through open hand. 
The quiet teacher inside and all around,
invites me to hush. Invites you too. To hush everything 
that is somewhere else, everything 
that is anywhere other than 
here.

- Julia Fehrenbacher
