settling in...

I guess I am starting to feel like myself again. Only because, I have more direction. I know where I am headed and I know where I have been.

I inhale, I put one foot in front of the other, and I settle in for this long run ahead of me. I feel the heaviness of my heart weighing me down, and slowing my pace. I really miss him. I wonder if there will ever be a day when I don't think of him. His memory brings me joy, and I smile. Bittersweet.

It is a night like this when I truly feel alone. I lie in the dark and stare at the ceiling, thinking of conversations that took place under it. My breath is my only reminder that I will be okay. The tears are proof that I am alive and my sadness stands as an affirmation of the happiness that once was. Its like the memory of a life changing symphony that makes your ears ring because it was so deafening.

Put one foot in front of the other, settle in for this run, breath, clear your mind... Ruach.
