The world
tunneling change
hopes thrown off
The silence
shrinking
the truth gathered
waiting
the weight whispering
in my head
stay cool everyone

I decided to renew my commitment to Ordinay Life blog contribution through blackout poetry. For me, creating this type of poetry is much like centering prayer or other forms of meditation. This practice is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice of distillation, of discernment. Like thoughts in our head that come with our without our beckoning, the words on the page can be noise that silences as we choose to attend to those that speak truth in the moment. I hope that by sharing these distilled pages with you, we find our truth woven together in the stories of our ordinary lives.

Love to all,
Brooke
