I had ten minutes that remained undisturbed

Dear Delyara, No call. No message. No interruption. No task re-entering the room. No emotional demand sneaking in sideways. Just ten whole minutes that stayed themselves. I know that sounds small. It didn’t feel small. Peace often fails because it gets interrupted before the body has time to believe it. This time, the quiet lasted long enough to become something more than a pause between demands. That mattered to me more than I can explain properly.
