365 days of aRt. DAY FIFTY-FIVE.

breathless i rest and my chest hits the floor,
incessantly asking myself to feel more.
feel alive, feel awake, take the time to explore
all the feelings inside that i hide and ignore.

I remind myself to feel. Feel and know what hides under the surface. Tonight as I drove my car into the parking lot and stepped out into the rain I felt an urgency to get inside -- to cover myself and run. But I didn't. I walked with my face to the sky and remembered to breathe and feel what it was like to be me in the rain. Sometimes we do this with our emotions. We see them surface and we want to run away. But maybe today you walk with that feeling. Maybe you face it head-on and finally start to understand why it's there or finally start to realize where this emotion is coming from. Don't be afraid to FEEL..
