My writing expresses many emotions that i have experienced...
and many times when i share these thoughts with friends,
they have told me that it encompasses feelings, they too,
have had but were unable to express.
I wish to share my poems as healings and inspirations.
 
eyes turned upward
facing sky          
clouds crying
tears mingling
'til no one knows
the difference.

today i realized i had forgotten to breathe.

i know i had it on my list...
somewhere between "pay the bills" and "buy dog food..."

but after rushing through my day stuck in "inhale mode"
it occurred to me... what happened to exhale?

how many of us are going through life holding our breath?
waiting for "the next shoe to drop?"

we need to become fully aware (not just, "yeah, yeah -
i KNOW all that" aware)
but REALLY aware that it is our
RESPONSE TO EVENTS
that we can control.
And not the events themselves.

and therefore, as long as we act out of love, both for
ourselves and our neighbors, that is the best we can do.

and if it is our best, then God is more than satisfied.

Go ahead. Breathe.
