an imperfect thing

quiet suits me. in it lies immense possibility, limitless direction.
truth is told in silence. fear falls away, love is exposed.
it frames my humanity. i am but one tiny thing in a grand universe.

i am myself in this quiet. not that which others perceive and i inevitably live into. no airs, no weighty layers of expectation, no struggle. in it i can appreciate the blessings that have been bestowed upon me.

this silence is refreshing, it provides a cleansing of the spirit. the challenge is to hold on to all that is gained once i let the "noise" back in. every time i try, only to return to this place an imperfect human.

...the phone rings.
