I don’t know how to define it, and I don’t want to.
Something has begun to move, and that’s enough.
It’s not a victory, not a turning point, not a promise.
It’s just a wheel turning.
A wheel I had never seen spin before.
A breath I hadn’t taken in a long time.
A sip of fresh water after a long drought.
I want to stay here, in this absence of dark thoughts.
I don’t want to analyze, don’t want to predict, don’t want to explain.
Just prolong it.
Prolong this unexpected serenity.
Even just for a few hours.
Even just for today.
