inside the emerging moment


let's

give this space
a moment
to emerge

to pull its pressed lips
apart

to loosen
its hold upon
the breathless containment

then

don't rush
this moment

let it
breathe in
let it step into this place
to find its fullness

and then
breathe out

feel the space
opening
like my eyes



i was travelling along highway 28 just south of peterborough when i saw this tree.
i was listening to "boy 1904" by riceboy sleeps when i wrote this

    Open what is closed. It is beautiful to feel what openness allows, in, and out. Possibilities!

    Your tree photos are my favorite, especially when combined with sky. :)

    And as someone feeling a tad suffocated by the current work situation, thank you for giving me space to breathe.

    Beautiful... Last Saturday when I was at my son's ball game, a tree caught my eye- and for some reason, it brought me back to childhood memories, playing in the trees.
    Thanks for the smile :)
