The Weight of the Sun
Breathe. Notice. Stop the clock. Speed is a jittery lie we tell ourselves to feel alive, But it's just a risk — a crack in the foundation. Slowness is the only thing that actually aligns With the heavy, honeyed pulse of the world. The rock doesn't rush its erosion; the root Doesn't panic as it braids itself into the dark. They aren't "slow" — they are stable.
So let the Earth handle the zooming. It's got the void covered; you have better things to do. Like catching the silver scratch of a meteor at 3 AM, Or listening to a bird gossip from a hidden branch. Watch a clumsy pup tumble over its own joy in the grass, Letting the sheer silliness of it tether you to the ground.
Feel the tide's salt-heavy hug around your ankles, And let the sun press its warm, golden palm against your skin. The world isn't a race to be won; it's a texture to be felt. So stay right here. Sit still. The universe is moving plenty fast for the both of you, And besides — the sun worked very hard to find your face today. It would be a shame to keep running.
Be the first to leave a reflection.
