Listening to the waves waiting for my day to begin.

Standing on the platform at the Metro North on the Hudson River.

The sun is shining against the cliffs of the Palisades.

The soft, lapping of the water calming my nerves, the nerves that have been on edge for months.

I took this moment

  this time to take a walk down to the end of the platform to be by myself so that I could hear the birds,

  so I could hear the wind softly blowing against the grasses at the water’s edge.

It’s been hard for me as it has for many.

Working to not let fear take over – or panic – or worry – or anything in between.

So right now,

  I take this moment.

  I breathe in this air.

  I speak these words and I hold – time.

This time right now,

  this moment,

  the moment where I am OK

When nothing is happening to me or to those I love.

We’re all that matters is the soft lapping sound at the water’s edge.
