Ever have a long conversation with yourself?
\nStroll along wondering where you\u2019re going
\nand then you come to a quiet place inside you?
\nAll at once.
\nLike walking into shade.
\nAnd you look up and something in the trees
\nsays hush, and you mind yourself to be still.
\nThat\u2019s when I become myself.
\nNo one in particular, just me,
\ngetting along and learning how to breathe.
\nIt only lasts a while and then I start talking.
\nArguing with myself and laughing.
\nThen I go away full like a meal
\nthat fed my soul.
\nThat says everything\u2019s all right.
\nThe way you\u2019re going is all right.
\nThat nothing harms you except yourself,
\nand that\u2019s only ignorance,
\nwhere you find yourself is like the shade
\nyou walked into.
\nA pause in living,
\nhow you pray in bed,
\nand listen to the day comport itself to sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
