Something was said.
It doesn't even matter what.
My reaction was instant.
All consuming.
Deeply physical.
Palms, brows, shoulders, stomach.
All clenched, churning, wounded.
I took it wrong.
Like I always do.
I thought the worst.
I felt the worst.
That was my doing.
Next time would be different.
Something was said.
It doesn't matter what.
My reaction was... slow.
Considered.
Deeply physical -- but this time full of breath.
Mind opened, thoughts re-directed from
Worst case to best case.
I changed my mind.
I saved myself.
Mind.
Body.
Spirit.
My ME led the way.
