Just One Thing

When you feel like you have too much to do,

do one thing.

Set your intention to simple:

a single step, 

a gentle smile,

a slow touch.

The busyness becomes quiet,

the sense of harriedness lifts,

the day blooms like a flower petal,

softly opening,

freshly scented.

All that needs to be done,

will be done,

one peaceful breath at a time.

Helene, whether recognized or not it is the right word for this. It lends to the transition of moving from rushed and hectic into the calm, peaceful, breathing.
Nice feeling!

Is "harriedness" a recognized word? Probably not, but should it be? I couldn't think of any other word or phrase to use in its place that went with the rhythm of the poem.
