when i stop breathing, that's when i remember about breathe, the importance of in and out. steady. balance.
my friends, my family, my independence, my knowledge, my ever progressing ever healing heart. i hold space for these things, close to my centre.
sacred is a word i'm becoming familiar with. it resonates in my throat. words are sacred. they give meaning to everything and when there is silence ruminating, it's like the sacred has asked for a moment of pause and reflection.
who am i? i am me. from a small town, too small to hold how big i am. how big my life is and will continue to be. how big my feelings and love and devotion are. how big my sense of wonder and adventure and curiosity are. i am human. i am love. i am sunshine and the smell of the earth when it's about to rain. i am aware. consciously and unconscously, growing more and more aware every day on this earth. i am gratitude. i live, eat, sleep, breathe, dream grateful thoughts and a feeling of thankfulness for this earth and this experience. so profound it overwhelms me.
human is what i am. one small speck in the vastness that is life. a mere fragment of what makes up this planet, this universe. one part of a much, much bigger thing.
keeping that in mind is the secret. there is no pain, no feeling, no stress, no no emotion bigger than the universe. and the universe will take care of it all, if you trust it.
you just have to trust it.
