meditation

Determined not to let it get to her, she jutted out her chin, chanting her mantra silently. She knew it wouldn't be long before the tears she was holding back would break through her wall.
"I won't do this here." she thought to herself and she counted slowly to one hundred. The past week had been a roller coaster ride. She needed this time away. She needed a way to relieve the stress. Today it was the song on the radio while she drove. She had no destination, and no time frame for getting there. She rolled the windows down and turned up the radio. The wind blowing her hair, she sang as loud as she could. to every song she knew. If she smoked, she would have gone through an entire pack of cigarettes that day. She didn't know if it was the singing, or the driving, or maybe a combination of everything, but her soul felt different that day. Lighter. She opened her eyes. Though she never left the room, her soul had travelled miles from where it had been.
