I answered the body before it had to become louder

Dear Delyara, This week I did not wait for the dramatic version. I noticed the earlier signs — that particular heaviness, the low patience, the thinness of my nervous system, the fatigue that arrives before resentment, the body’s quieter requests. And instead of translating all of that into “keep going,” I answered. I think that matters more than a lot of the more visible things I used to call discipline. I want to become someone who listens in the whisper stage. This week, I did a little more of that.
