and you might notice the pulse in your body
or the vibration of a truck rumbling by at dawn.
Open your eyes and breath deeply into the earthquake
of an ordinary day in a life that trembles at the evening table
and synapses flash and flicker with all that electric joy.
If you are awake
you will shiver knowing
that stillness absorbs
the undulation of responsibility
and grief of letting go of the delicate axon
that connects charge to reaction.
Close your eyes
and listen as I inhale
and exhale as many lessons
as one woman can learn.
This knowing is the elixir
we all must swallow.
