Calm returns
… after torrents of unrest.
The constant swirling is draining.
Movement to and fro.
Changing direction unexpectedly.
Push … pull.
Rushing from one place to another.
Take a deep breath and exhale.
Does the noise begin again
… at the end of the exhale?
When quiet follows the breathing
… it seems like an empty space.
It takes awhile to relax.
After the tension of expecting
the noise to begin again
… there is exhaustion.
What does normal feel like?
I forget.
