And Today

And today, I’m scared.

…

And just sitting with that.

…

Occasionally being reminded to breathe as I gasp for air.

…

It’s okay, I tell myself.

You are having a human experience. And you are safe.

…

Thankful my body is in tune, aware and functioning as designed.

Thankful to have the full human experience and have access to the full spectrum of emotions.
