When the words are out, close your eyes and place the paper before you. Take a slow breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Let your body soften. Let your breath deepen. In your mind’s eye, begin to visualize that moment as a Tower standing tall in the distance—its walls made of the beliefs, roles, relationships, or illusions that once held you. Watch now as it begins to crack. See the stones loosen. Hear the groaning timbers. Let it fall. Let it fall all the way. Feel the dust
