To Take a Breath

Angst, fear, & worry bound me.

To take a breath…

My body, spirit, and soul are exhausted.

To take a breath…

Overwhelmed with thought and emotion.

To take a breath…

Uncertain of my future.

To take a breath…

I sit in stillness.

Alone.

Looking into your eyes.

Leaning towards you without hesitation.

I take a breath….

Compassion, loving kindness, and curiosity welcome my frail self.

I take a breath…

Dissipating into emptiness.

I take a breath…

Angst, fear, and worry desert me.

These emotions are so fickle.

They will return.

I take a breath…

No longer manipulated by suffering.

I take a breath…
