“It isn’t normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.” Abraham Maslow
Being Called To Breathe
I was fragile, just a little, after
a series of disjointed conversations
evolving from an impoverished memory,
that arcane room of collected forgetting
and confused yearnings,
all those familiar vignettes of life
borrowed from someone else,
blurring to a past,
undone by that ancient activity of
waiting intently,
poised on the edge,
could this be doubted?
That we are being called to
breathe possibilities
in to this now.

Breathing in possibilities is a very appealing thought, or perhaps possibilities are the breath of life itself.
