Yoga Pants and Body Pillows

The battery is recharged
through soft fabrics and quiet rooms
a long stretch
like a cat in afternoon sun
or a slumbering dog
tucked into blankets
a world in transition
from endless motion
and ongoing deadlines
to stillness
with yoga pants and body pillows
meant to rule the day
and this is how we recover
from the extremes of this modern life
turning away from the schedules
and lying down into the comforts
that welcome us – Caroline A. Slee
