Into the Work

12 min

# Into the Work ## Arrival The boat sits low at first light, oars laid flat, two pale lines resting on water that has not yet woken. You have not come here this morning to race anyone. You have come to row. Before the first stroke, draw one slow breath from the river air, deep enough to reach the lower ribs.

Grounded, even, steady

Grounded and even, the same calm weight on every line — present without pushing, steady when the moment isn't.
