the Pause

The writer said it's not in the breath, but in the PAUSE that we find

ourselves

clarity

insight

The slowing down

The waiting

The becoming still

I can

see myself in slow motion

see the world rushing by

see something disappear

I'm missing it

losing the opportunity

falling behind

being left out

Am I truly still myself if I pause?

productive

efficient

relentless

Will anyone wait for me?
