The Gravity of A Single Breath


We were taught that a life is measured out in kilometers travelled, titles won, in years that stack up like heavy stone. But a clock's ambition is a simple lie.


A minimalist, Zen-inspired photograph of a single smooth, dark stone perfectly balanced on a flat, pale surface. The image conveys stability, focus, and a profound sense of settled presence.
The day is unhurried when we realize that a single, conscious breath holds the complete and finished world." This final poem, "The Gravity of A Single Breath," is the conclusion of 'The Unhurried Day' chapter. Find your stillness. 🧘‍♀️ #TheGravityOfABreath #Presence #PhilosophicalPoetry #FindYourStillness

The True Odometer of Life

The true odometer is the stillness we can summon, the space between the thoughts, the brief, bright acreage of pure presence.


The Breath That Asks for Nothing

If we could only stop assigning value to the frantic dash across the floor, and begin to count the moments where the hurried future is exiled— where the weight of now is all the weight there is.


Settling Like a Stone

This is the breath that asks for nothing back. It anchors the heart with its simplicity, heavy with its own small, perfect worth.

The Weight of Now

A truly lived life is not one that lasts, but one that settles, like a stone in clear, unmoving water. The day is unhurried when we realize that a single, conscious breath holds the complete and finished world.

The Ritual of Softness  As the evening settles, soft and low, your presence lights the shadows, making them glow.  Welcome Home My Love  This quiet knowing, a comfort deep and true, connecting me to you.

The Field of Light As vibrant as your smile, may your day be sunny and bright,  filled with delight and adventurous paths. Wishing You Sunshine and Smiles Hey, how was your day?

Urge

Night's Unlit Path of Thought With every passing moment, the body aches and the core begs.  A restless yearning in the quiet of night, patiently awaiting your return. Unruly Yearning I was in mood to misbehave.  I told him so while he was at work.  He later laid out his terms, and I accepted.  But the moment we hung up, I returned with these words: "Yes, you spoke, but with every passing moment. The Irrepressible Ache my body aches for your touch.  My very core can't seem to stand still;  she just keeps on begging.  The more I try to keep her at bay, to quell this vibrant fire, to make my spirit wait, the more she calls out your name, a siren's song, a wild, insistent fate. A Battle Within My thoughts, a tangled thread, unwinding in the dark, each one a vivid image, leaving its potent mark. I pace the silent rooms, where shadows softly creep, and conjure your returning in the moments I can't sleep.
