What could you do more of?

What could you do more of, except pause; linger in the twilight hush between one heartbeat and the next;

What could you do more of, except breathe; not to gather in oxygen but to listen with attention, to feel the tides rise and fall in your chest as they mirror the wider seas;

What could you do more of, except trust; that the ache is a portal, that silence is not empty, that even your shadow is striving to hold you upright;

What could you do more of, except love; not the bursting kind that burns you hollow, but the quiet fire that returns you to yourself.
