Why lose the exhale when we can continue to inhale?

I gracefully place my fingers over the lips of words touching each individual letter square with softness.
I breathe in, hold, heart beats faster, I listen to the pulse of blood and know that I have to let the air out for my breath to feel my presence tonight. I wipe my eyelids with the back of my two hands as I close my eyes with relaxation bringing both palms together to the center of my chest. Breathing in again I center myself. I stretch my muscles, tilt my head glancing over my shoulder and change the station again and again. I nod my head as I tilt my ear to the side, glancing out the window of darkness.  I pause. Place my warm burning hands over my face, eyelids penetrating warmth through me tilting my head back.  I push the wisps of hair out of my mouth with relief. I smile. I look at my screen. Hands together still I lick the two index fingers lightly. I intertwine eight of my fingers raise them over my head and point the other two up to you my new moon. I bring the knuckle of my right thumb to my third eye and implant what needs to be seen in the indent of clarity. I caress my ankles gently with one stroke and ground myself.
Why is everyone so afraid to bow down on all fours in a pyramid stance and leap forward to bring all limbs together?  Why are you scared to jump forward to create unity? We all want to be one with each other but are all too hesitant to step forward. What makes your cringe with tightened muscles so viciously? Why are you so hesitant to look him or her in the eye with love and light?  Do you need to forgive him, her or maybe yourself?  Do you need to accept this is where you are placed right now to live? We want brief encounters filled with electricity and no tomorrows. We want to be in the moment but do not want to do the work for the next day. We succumb to the mystery because its intriguing but never unlock the story.  We want easiness where we do not thrive or delve into the unknown.  We crave the safety net to surround us so we will not break.  We feel the need to have the last word or choice or decision or hold onto our belief and not drown under water because then we will lose control. We never desire to feel broken because someone may put our pieces together again. Open your eyes and raise your voice. No more hesitation or missing out on wishing... When will we drop the ego and just be? You made it through the night.. Just remember the next time you doubt...

"Living like you're dying

Isn't living at all
Give me your cold hands
Put them on my heart
Raise a glass to everyone
Who thinks they'll never make it through
This life
To live a brand new start

We are
We are
We are going to be alright
We got
We got
We always got the fight in us and

We are
We are
We are going to live tonight
Like there's no tomorrow
'Cause we are the afterlife"-Ingrid Michaelson

New moons are your one chance to start new per month.  We could all die instantly in our next breath taken. Why lose the exhale when we can continue to inhale? Maybe if we tell ourselves enough...
