{plateau}
did i let my thoughts run undisciplined for 20 minutes,
or was i finally able to breathe?
did I let my guard down,
or was I finally healing?
why can’t I figure
how to forego this plateau?
–e.l. jayne
The finest part about poetry is the accentuated emphasis of the individual word; the epitome of less is more.
and then an another conversation in mind about this!!

These words hit me solidly. I feel like I’m so close to finding the best way for me to live in this world, to be a source of goodness for myself and others at all times, but I can’t quite take the last step. But, maybe I’m already there? Maybe I’m already in that space, and just need the reminders to breathe and rest too?
Love the photo you’ve chosen to accompany this piece too. It provides the physical and metaphorical space the poem encourages. Thank you for sharing.
