My limbs trace the same arc every time I practice, yet the rhythm shifts just enough to make me wonder if the floor is ever truly solid.

I dreamt of golden wheat fields while my stomach growls for real bread.

Thy life shall be as the morning.
And `thy' life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
