“I didn’t need to hurry,
or reach for anything,
because there was no distance here,
no desire but to be.
And in this place,
the air was thick with kindness,
like the wind had gathered all the good it could find
and shared it with every corner,
every stone,
every step.
I didn’t wonder if I would stay,
because somehow,
I knew I already had.”
