In the gym
Three others are with me
I say:
“I will try to touch the rim!”
“Alright!” Shouts one of the kids with me
I stand back 30ish feet from the rim
Readying myself for what was to come
“Just think of it as jumping.”
“Don’t overthink it.”
Says a voice in my head
I start to run
Step
Step
Step
JUMP!
Soaring
Soaring
Soaring
Contact
Falling
Falling
Landing
Running
In exhilaration
A feeling of purest joy.
Stepping outside
after the rain,
inhaling the fresh scent of spring.
Taking a moment to just
be.
Be with nature.
Be in the moment.
Nature has reset herself.
Is it really so hard to just be nice to people?
Why is it us versus them?
What makes "them" different?
"Worse"
We are all human,
all trying to get through our day.
I reach my limit from time to time.
whether it be at school or at home.
I reach the limit of what my brain can handle.
All of the noise of life becomes too much and I need to take a break.
I need to turn my ears off.
