The fan is in the background.

My eyes feel warm with fatigue.

Ground into the present moment

— I am here.

The weight of the day rests on my shoulders

Each thought, each memory, both young and older.

Yet amidst the chaos and relentless tide —

The present moment, I reside.

Amidst it all, a profound truth is clear — In this vast universe, I am here.
