And then it comes,
The moment when it hurts,
When taking one more breath is the bravest act in the world.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Welcome to a hit of hope,
And know that there is some salty language in this one.
When life puts you into a boxing ring,
When there's a flurry of emotional punches landing in every sweet spot you have,
Taking one more breath can be the bravest act in the world.
Inhale.
Exhale.
When life is an ocean,
When the waves crashing over you threaten to pull you under,
Taking one more breath can be the bravest act in the world.
Inhale.
Exhale.
When you have to sit with the uncertainty,
When you feel as if you are untethered and there's nothing to hold onto,
It can be so fucking hard.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Dear one,
When it comes,
When it hurts,
When everything is knotted,
Tangled,
Take one more breath.
Abide.
Wait.
Watch.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Abide a bit more.
Here.
Now.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Look at you,
Taking one more breath,
The bravest act in the world.
Abide,
Dear one.
Let the quiet come.
Namaste.
