perspective



Breath the rain in through my open window - mindfully exhale -
I am in a new place, a fresh space -
I am not who I was or 4 months ago
I am not who I wanted to be 4 months ago

I extend my limbs in this waiting room
gone is the one who drove herself to distraction with any means necessary
she jostles around impetuously from time to time thinking she wants an encore
but the other one hushes her, reminds her of what is real, what is important

And as I actively wait to see who I am able to continue to evolve into - I wonder what opportunities may the next 4 months bring. And I quietly anticipate.

Please God help me maintain this carefully calibrated perspective - grow its thread thicker and more textured each day so I can grasp easily to it, not allowing it to slip like water from my hands.
