I let the evening be plain and that felt peaceful

Dear Delyara, Nothing special happened tonight. No big insight. No magical reset. No particularly beautiful conversation. No productivity worth mentioning. It was just a plain evening. And for once, I let plain be enough. That felt more peaceful than I expected. I think part of what has exhausted me in life is the constant pressure to make meaning, improve something, capture something, use something well. Tonight I didn’t do that. I let the room be ordinary and my presence in it be sufficient. That felt like a form of peace I want more of.
