One step.
One step.
One step.
One step.
One step.
My lungs were screaming and agony.
Morning one of walk one.
The first.
Of many.
How many?
Who knows.
I begin.
With one step.
With one try.
Just one.
I don’t worry if I will make it or not.
I try.
I take one step.
Then.
Another.
Step.
Ah.
Aha!
I soar.
I climb.
Weightless.
Breathless.
I breathe.
I inhale life.
I exhale.
Ah.
living,
Cassandra
Note: I finally started the morning walks I have been promising myself for seven years. I sounded like a beached whale. I looked like who gives two hoots. I was walking. I was living.
Walk done, I eyed the evil stairs standing in the way of my apartment and the air-conditioner. Cruelty!
I had two choices:
I could collapse in a heap, at the bottom of the stairs and hope a muscular husband material man man came to swoop me into his deliciously tender arms…
I could take a step at a time and get to some blessed air! Heck with this!!
One step.
One step.
One step.
