the silence doesn’t scare me here.
the stillness doesn’t frighten me.
I don’t feel judgements of the simple things I want to do. I don’t feel the rush or the push or the impending “should’s” looming over every day. I feel confident in my choice to lay in this bed, open my book, and savor the natural light pouring through the floor to ceiling window at my right side.
I feel space
I feel breath
I feel comfortable
I feel confident in my simplicity.
I feel love.
