the potential and possibilities of the between by Tara Page

Slam

Blossoms

Clear

Cracks in the pavement

And breathe and forward, ok

Ughh…uphill

And still and push

Irises

Pink snow

Move 

Keep moving

Foggy

And breathe and forward, ok

Mint, no Peppermint

And again and again consistent, continuously

Voice

Voices

The stove

Wait, thinking

Thinking back,

Eggs, stir, yep, move, scrape, turn?

Yep, no, no 

Yes…definitely… yes, yes.

And breathe and forward, ok

So blue and blue

I can smell it

Clear, but warm, not tickling

Too warm?

Yep, no, but what about

Cant

Just cant

Too much

Voice

Voices… too much?

The who

The why

Why cant they just move

Or at least stop

And breathe and forward, ok

Today, ok, what next?

And breathe…

A breath, air in, fill, rise, and fall, shoulders, chest and see and feel and it is clearly ok… now what

I can do…

And move

And forward

Forward

Step

Next step

Moving

And breathe and… ok

Lighter, lifting

Warmth… smell it?

Oh yes

Better

Warm

Smooth

Focusing… and breathe

Ok

And smile

No, no, no no

Overload

Cant

Noise

Too much

No… can

Can

Bike, Bike, truck, car

Ohh… jasmine

And breathe… 

Yes, there it is

 

Coffee, yes… so good.

Ahh… better

So real, its happening

Ok

Together, maybe more about with

It will be now, 

But where, here?

And breathe… and forward

Ok…just be

And breathe… ok, here.
