I Had a Calm Hour

Dear Delyara, No forecasting. No replaying. No budgeting in my head. No mentally laying out tomorrow. No rehearsing the hard conversation or worrying ahead of the school issue or reading my body like a threat. Just one calm hour. That is so rare now that it felt almost expensive. Like I had been handed something precious and fragile and should be careful not to ruin it by thinking too far ahead. I noticed every minute of it. And I am grateful I did.
