Breath

Sitting in silence feeling my heart beat as the seconds pass. Who is this person I have become. What does she believe in now? There used to be so many walls built around. A safe area I created for myself, away from the “world” and its sinfulness. Now I am in the centre of it all. People I judged have become my best friends. Souls I thought surely would go to hell turned out to be angels. I stare at this book of rules and only feel emptiness. At the same time there is emptiness inside myself. Trying to re-evaluate the situation but only silence await.

Thousands of people died in the earthquake and tsunami this week in Japan. Those “lucky” to have survived are stranded as all their possessions have been taken by the ocean. Now they sit and wait as nuclear plants have been damage and possibly send radiation into the air that will kill thousands… even millions, if a solutions isn’t found soon. My heart beats, I take a breath, another breath and weep at how insignificant an fragile the human body is. How dependent we are on the air we breathe.
