an abstract pattern

evolving on the concrete

as the rain begins

conscious breathing, saw the cracks

Thich Nhat Hanh has written many books on the topic of mindfulness;  I’m currently reading “Anger”, one of two books I own that he wrote.

grabbed the cinderblock,
feeling the rough – almost sharp – concrete,
bite into my hands
