Standing here
on the precipice
of nowhere
in particular

feeling open,
ready
for whatever’s next

now,
paying attention
to nothing
but my breath

expectations
of anyone nor
anything
seem desperately
naive

understanding,
the true nature
of how
lucky I am
to perceive
such beauty
and bliss

my soul is strong
and these shoes
are still comfortable
because I’ve
taken these million
humbling steps.
