“…The stars. Your still-hot-cup-of-coffee. Your daughter. Your son. Your spouse. Your heart. The green grass. The wild flowers. The waters you long to swim in. The colour yellow. The colour blue. Your labourite poem. Your favourite blanket. The wind in your hair. The waves on the ocean. The mountain air. Your dd. Your mom. The rain. The ice-cream cone. The butter sizzling with garlic in the frying pan. The grocery clerk with sad, kind eyes. Postcards waiting to be sent. The city squirrel. The country squirrel. Jupiter. The photo album. Your grandmother’s rosary. Your favourite song. Ink and paper. Your best friend. The money in your wallet. The fork in your hand. Brushes and pain. Downward Facing Dog. The colour turquoise. The almost invisible shade of pink. God. The skyline. tHe earth beneath your feet. A hammock. The shade of a giant tree. This moment, right here, now. Your bones. Your belly laugh. Your breath. Your breath. Your breath.”
