Paralysis

I write in my car these days.
It’s the only place I can think,
Find the time,
Breathe.

Everywhere else is too busy. Too much.

It feels like the Earth is spinning without me.
Maybe tomorrow I, too, will spin.

The feeling

Of being frozen in place by overwhelming situations and emotions. The knowing that the feeling will pass and we will continue to move again. Well done!
