Boredom
A gift,
a space,
a gap,
a moment to pause.
A chasm
where creativity stretches its arms.
No response.
Just noticing.
Awareness of everything
and nothing at all.
I listen to my breathing.
An itch arrives.
I hold it,
let it be.
Acknowledge it.
Sit with it.
It softens.
Its urgency loosens.
I soften too.
My breath slows.
I open.
A quiet settles in,
like a weighted blanket
from the universe.
There is purpose here.
A quiet knowing.
Something waiting
for space to arrive.
So I make space
for silence.
And in that silence
there is room
for the creative abundance
of my life.
Because in the stillness
I find presence.
I find creativity.
I take
space
to breathe.
