If I Could Gift You Stillness

If I could give you nothing else, I’d plant deeply the gift of stillness in your core.

Exhaling Attachment

Tethered to a familiar mass, and feeling the rope slip through my desperate grip, I’m aware that fixing my gaze backward will leave me exhausted, emptied. I won’t have these things back, and I’ll lose a little bit of myself in the process.

Your stories were written in parallel. You are to be there for each other. Trust others with your words. They need them and you need theirs.
