Getting through


I am remembering a poem that went: I have to live with myself and so, I have to be fit for myself to know.

What is fit?

Do I lift weighty words with my mind? 

Purify the spaces in my head with meditation?

Run lines of Rumi through my mind until my breath breathes Hu?

Do I walk one step at a time remembering that when I breathe in I smile?

What if I am not calm when I breathe out?

I repeat.

In a flurry of headkeeping, I repeat and repeat and repeat.
