Experiencing total awareness.
Paying attention to now.
For some time, I have been awake.
A great deal of pain.
But there so much to be happy for.
Yet not quiet inside.
Who deeply feels things.
As inconvenient at best.
They let us know what matters to us most.
Reluctant to reveal; common because of their truth.
Response, feelings about a situation,
What has been learned about the world.
Wink. pucker, nod, shrug the shoulder,
Know what to look for.
Like art.
Be brave enough to feel it.
