a truth so savage

My days capsize - they lay victim to the countless tasks that eat up the most precious thing any of us will ever have. But when my tired body flops into bed and my hands fumble for the duvet, I pull it up close to the nape of my neck, and I take it all back. A moment of quiet reflection, of pure unwavering gratitude, of uninterrupted joy and a passion for being, it is then I am reminded of the contradiction - the weight and weightlessness of my very own life. A life that is everything and nothing, transient yet everlasting, extraordinary yet unremarkable, it is both integral and unnecessary all at once.
