I paused. I breathed. I noticed that I breath. Memories seized. Hopes dissolved. Gradually, a cloud of sensations became apparent: The ocean breeze kissed my brow, the iridescent dance of light cast its spell, and the thunderous chorus of incessant tides held me captive still. ⠀ This barrier, does it withhold me from immersion or protect me from danger? I envy the freedom of the seagull that sores freely and submerges at will. For a moment, I surrendered to this moment. For a moment, I relinquished the longing for what is past. I anticipated no future state. That precarious teetering between the past and an anticipated future. The “I” seized. “I” died, for a moment. All there was, was awareness. All there was, was #thismoment⠀ ______⠀ model: Cindy Kelly⠀ words: Pierre F.
