Thinking about feeling

I am thinking
about what I am feeling.

These feelings—
intense, passionate,
real.

I need to get in touch
with my feelings.
Be in the moment.

But my mind—
always analyzing,
always thinking
about feeling,
instead of just feeling.

Let me think about
how I can stop thinking
about how to get
out of my head
and into the moment.

I keep thinking.
And thinking.

About why
I can’t just be
spontaneous,
emotional,
filled with awe.

I remember—
I was in awe.

It feels like
it just happened.

I remember
the feeling
of being in awe.

But remembering
isn’t the same
as being.
