A change in the air

A change in the air.

It felt like it was a long winter. The chill, the desolation, the pollution of murky energy radiating amongst the daily monotony. She felt strangely heavy, like gravity had tested her every step.. every thought. A nimbus of nothingness surrounded her. It followed her.

It consumed her. For years, she would fade into the abyss of emptiness. Did she even have a soul? Even she didn’t know.

Professional and personal advise was given. None worked. She didn’t believe it. How could she? Nobody could possibly be feeling the depth of despair she had. And tomorrow, they would forget and continue with their busy lives. But she – she had to force herself to continue in her solitary journey.

Then… a change in the air!

She was awake. She was aware. She felt warm. 

She felt the heat of the sun and the cool of the night. Is this her second chance?
With every ounce of energy she had left from years of fear, years of hopelessness, years of pain invisible to all.. she stood up.

She did not know where the feeling of warmth had come from. She just knew she could feel that today was different. Today she felt lighter.. Supple.. Agile.

She smiled.

How long will this euphoria last? No one can answer that. Not she, nor you, nor i. The future is forever changing and forever moving. An operation that does not cease.

With that in mind she inhaled this entire beautiful, perfect moment. She left the demons in her past and allowed the curiosities of the future remain a mystery. She embraced this exact moment in time and she felt at peace.

It gave her hope.
