You have been holding your course for so long that even resting feels like something to get right.
The music begins gently. There is a voice near you, a rhythm beneath it, and enough space between the sounds to leave a thought unfinished.
You imagine water carrying your weight. At first, you keep looking for the shore. Then something in the distance catches your attention, and for a moment you forget to steer.
Nothing asks you to explain where you are going.
You listen a little longer.
