PHOTO PROMPT – © Sandra Crook
It’s here to remind us of the day that time stopped. To remind us to breathe. As I recall, the sun grew dark and the earth shuddered and heaved stopping on its axis for 60 seconds.
In the silence everyone breathed in deeply…so deeply that the ground sunk from the weight of the air filling our lungs. As we exhaled, gravity gave way and we floated. And then the earth jolted, the clouds starting drifting again and the sun sparkled golden once more. Though nothing seemed changed we all knew the truth. In that moment we realized we are one.
