Well, hello there. My name is Morgan Harper-Nichols. I'm an artist and a writer, and this is a space where I share poetry and prose that I hope can make a little room for you to slow down just for a moment and take a few deep breaths as you prepare for whatever lies ahead.

Today's piece is called,

Feeling Directionless,

here's one thing to remember today.

Thanks for listening.

Maybe the feeling of nothing is happening here

is actually a blank canvas, an invitation to explore the possibility of what could be.

Maybe the feeling of being lost in a new empty space is an invitation to a new beginning.

Maybe the feeling that you don't know where you're headed is an invitation to a new beginning. Maybe the feeling that you don't know where you're headed

is an invitation to be the one to finally carve a new path.

It is absolutely normal to feel a little lost and directionless at times.

And it is also absolutely normal to recognize there is still good

here despite those feelings. There is still good right here despite those feelings. There is still

the possibility that something new could spring to life, even when

you're asking questions about the future. So what would it mean to find beauty right here

where you are, even though you don't know what's next? What would it mean to explore the depths of your

creativity with hope for what lies ahead? Even if you're not sure if you really want to commit yet,

how are you willing to dare to try something new, even without knowing what the outcome will be.

Perhaps all that feels scattered and unorganized can lead to a new day of seeing things.

Perhaps even here there is room for something new to come to life.

And this something new doesn't have to be your next big idea.

It doesn't have to make the people around you say, wow, in order for it to matter.
