Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
I’m never too busy to take my next breath, maybe shallow, maybe deep, and then to push it out as I wait for another. It happens involuntarily like my arrival here, at this place and time, with the body and soul of a human. Love compels choices to be made, choices I cannot comprehend, choices I cannot remember ever making. One day I will take my last breath in this body, a sign one last choice has been made.
