Self Portrait Tuesday

I want to stop taking this step and that step. I want to stop moving -- towards success or failure, happiness or sorrow. No more hurry. No more impatience with what hasn't yet come to be, no more guilt about what has been.


Just stillness. The feel of the ground under my feet. Cold earth, warm earth. A breath that goes all the way down to my toes. I want to feel what it's like to live as if there were no time. As if this moment were everything, full and perfect, as inconceivably small and inconceivably large as the universe before time began.
