most often it is a feeling of peace and acceptance that sits in the core of my heart; in that place inside of me that is constant and unchanging. this is my grounding and roots me to the earth and allows me to extend further to the sky. in these times my breath remains smooth and consistent in the face of my struggles, pains and fears. i am able to grow from this foundation and bathe in the serenity and joy that is drawn from the air around me.
and then there are the moments where the land beneath my feet shakes and quakes, throwing my balance to one side or the other and i become lost in the debris of my past. as i grasp at that unchanging core, i instead make contact with the still unscabbed, fleshy gash as my own veins, muscle mass and ligaments slip through my fingers causing me to fall even further into that gaping wound that is the size of our life together.
