It’s chilled, pure and refined.
Like sinking into a sleek, smooth ocean where every wave carries me higher, yet closer to myself.
The world outside - with its noise, its demands, - fades into a soft hum.
It is the key that unlocks the silence I crave.
I feel it wrap around me, a sharp embrace, cutting down the weight I carry.
Every breath becomes relaxed, every heartbeat a rhythm.
It’s not chaos, but calm.
Not pain, but peace.
In this space, I am whole.
I am not subject to the gnawing hunger of every man on earth.
Rather, I am elevated - into something much greater...
