I am still learning how to live
I live still learning how to live
into the empty spaces,
to sit within them quietly
rather than fill them quickly
just to keep anxiety and guilt
at bay.
I am still learning how to breathe,
to exhale
fear,
and fear,
and fear,
to inhale
acceptance,
then peace.
I am still learning how to let go
of the impossible knot
I am trying to untangle,
to embrace instead
every sign of the divine
in and around.
I am still learning how to walk
into my day thus filled,
and to return to the emptiness
often.
I am still learning,
over and over,
every single day,
how to live.
