I returned to the work more times than I wanted to, and that was enough

Dear Delyara, This week did not feel graceful. It felt distracted, interrupted, emotionally crowded, and mentally noisy. But I kept returning. Not perfectly. Not brilliantly. Just consistently enough that the work still moved. I think I’ve come to respect returning more than inspiration. Returning builds lives. Inspiration visits them. This week, I returned enough. And I’m proud of that.
