Find Your Rhythm

March moves in a rhythm.


The flowers bloom, the air shifts, and suddenly everything feels like it's syncing to a rhythm you forgot existed.This is the month where you curate your soundtrack: not just the songs you listen to, but the pace you move at, the rituals you return to, the way light spills into your living room on a Sunday afternoon.


Spring is here.


Find your groove. Let yourself sway.

Poem to carry

Today

If ever there were a spring day so perfect,

so uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze

that it made you want to throw

open all the windows in the house

and unlatch the door to the canary's cage,

indeed, rip the little door from its jamb,

a day when the cool brick paths

and the garden bursting with peonies

seemed so etched in sunlight

that you felt like taking

a hammer to the glass paperweight

on the living room end table,

releasing the inhabitants

from their snow-covered cottage

so they could walk out, holding hands and squinting

into this larger dome of blue and white,

well, today is just that kind of day.


From Aimless Love: New and Selected Poems by Billy Collins



Here’s to your sanctuary.

Find your rhythm. Let yourself bloom.
