I breathe
to slow down my thoughts.

Around me,
noises rise and fall—
different levels,
different tones.

I close my eyes
to see my vision,
to remind myself
of who I am
and why I am here.

I stand in the middle
of a spinning universe—
different directions,
different rhythms,
different tones.

And still, I stand.

I breathe.
I close my eyes.

I am the universe within the universe.
I choose my pace.
I choose my path.
I choose my tone.

And I take
one deep breath.
