The sun filters in through the blinds. It should be a beautiful day. I wish I could feel it. The sun is lovely on my skin but not what I need right now. The day might be right, But I am not. *** What I need is a reset. I cannot match the pace of…

Lullaby carried to me on a clear tone. Whispers of freedom gold. Seen in the way sun beams reflect onto nearby walls. Sanctuary separate from everyday life. You can feel it too can’t you?
