There are moments of clarity daily.
They open me up with a breath and keep me calm.
They feed me the answers.
And they hold me lovingly.
They are gospelstiches.
My childish ass has got to let them heal.
This feud I’m having with myself isn’t even original.
But it is thick and rooted.
Here’s to today, slowing down,
suspending judgment,
and breast strokes through chaos.  —Buddy Wakefield (via loverofstories)
