I have been trying to put some time aside in the business of my week to just...

feel the moment, see what I find, hear my heart...

its been awhile since I let myself slow down enough...

There is a new bump in the road I have found...

I am out of practice.

my mind is afraid of quiet...

as if peace is a vacancy that will be forever unfilled...

There is a great waterfall of noise that rushes in.

appointments, words, needs, noise, lists, duties

I am trying to separate what is really important,

you know...

I think we all ask ourselves that question now and then...

or at least try it out on ourselves...

what if...

I wonder what it will take...

for me to just sit and breath and feel...

a disaster, an earthquake, an illness...

some red-hot reminder that life [here] is fragile..

it does end...

will I get a chance to answer myself

with enough honesty to make a change?

this is definitely something I have to work on...
