“What you are, the world is.
And without your transformation,
there can be no transformation of the world.”
- Jiddu Krishnamurti
She squeezed herself
into the shape she was given
condensed her needs and wants
in an effort to take up less space
pulled back to a smaller, smaller
place
There was no room to grow.
There was only survival.
When did it happen
the noticing of held breath?
She smiles now with remembrance.
He came along one day.
He surprised her into a great exhale
and the air
flowed
in
effortlessly.
