Clarity

And all of a sudden everything stopped,

 the race was over, 

the war was done,

 the clouds parted 

and she found herself still standing

solid, like steel,

 no longer cheap wooden stilts

All the hassles, appointments, stuff we were working to get through or done on time

Stopped

These moments are so precious

When I can see clearly where I am

Unobstructed 

And I am free to pick and choose a direction 

Instead of it already being decided for me by circumstances, date, obligation or time

Deep breathing

In 

This 

Eye of the Storm place

I know the upcoming storm

Draws near

I know it must pass through me

To finally disperse and no longer harm

I stand

And I am so grateful

For this moment

I put the telescope down to my side

I drop the luggage

And pull out the backpack. 

I take a good long drink

I Am
