Breathing Letters In My Book

 

Whenever my eyes fall on tightly clustered lines of small letters in any form of print, a sudden wave of claustrophobic constriction wraps my chest and my head spins from lack of oxygen. The letters are all pressed too close, crammed together in a desperate rail car, fighting for air.

 

This is why I deliberately make room and scatter in as much space whenever I write. Sometimes I get afraid that a sudden move might disturb the delicate balance of my vocabulary. There is no rush, no frantic urgency chasing the next word.

 

For me, those wide spaces are windows left open to let the breeze in. I arrange the letters so they won't cling or crowd, believing that in these open margins, my own heart might find room to expand. Calmly with each line I write, I am inviting a little more oxygen into the page, hoping my heart can quietly learn to breathe in tandem.

 

Bit by bit, letter by letter, I find that I am breathing again - right here in the margins of my own story.
