Hyper-Calm.

Did you ever wake up and remember to take your time?

It didn’t happen instantly, but within an hour of being up I caught myself, hand outstretched reaching for the door. You’re here, this is how it is, breath, look around, don’t try to understand, observe, let it be. Felt incredible, in a calm way. Felt lucky.

The Acer tree is burning against a backdrop of green. The dog trots in looking for some love. People talk about Los Angeles. New friendships are hard to form but right now they’re appealing. An advert for emergency food interrupts the podcast, people getting ready and they don’t know what for.

Some days I feel uncomfortable with how I spend my time. Not today though. I walked with my shoulders back, mid morning, not a care.
