I Breathe In Patience
I breathe in patience,I breathe out worry.I inhale good emotions,I exhale useless ones.I hold onto the little I can control,I let go of the rest.

Capturing A Feeling In Time
Time moved slow today,like it did when I was a child.It’s a beautiful thingto regain a part of meI thought was lost in my childhood,succumbed to timeand disassociating aging.Alas I have garnered it,made it my own,welcomed it whole.Sometimes it’s best tofeel the slowness of timehow the day moves at the paceyou choose to be presentwithContinue reading “Capturing A Feeling In Time”
