peace

anxiety or fear
breathes on either side
of the space in-between.

our forward motion 
doesn’t demand prescience,
it asks only for presence – 
where the demand for certainty
is replaced by
the muscle memory of acceptance.

acceptance
is the oxygen that
gives peace its breath.

when you are
at peace with your decisions,
you know that the opportunity
for another one will soon follow.

when you are
at peace with yourself
you know that, you today,
may be different to 
you tomorrow.

when you are
at peace with the fall
you know that those moments,
as tough as they may be –
the other side exists. 
your peace exists in the understanding
of the journey required
to move you through it again.

peace travels at the pace of acceptance
on your return your homeostasis —
it’s the single thread you discover 
allowing  you
to move freely inside
the space in-between.

find peace in your decisions.
find peace in yourself.
find peace in the fall.
