I want to breathe,
deeply and vigorously,
with the wild sensation
of my own aliveness,
the staggering awareness
of being whole.
I want to learn to rest
in a moment,
to honor it,
and to fold myself
into presence.
I want to know
what it feels like to move
through the moments with ease
and grace.
I want to be of space,
open and glorious
and made of stars.
I want to touch
the tender core
of love with hands
that know truth,
compassion,
devotion.
And through it all
the exhilarating act,
to breathe.
