Running on Fumes

14 min

Burnout can leave a thin urgency in the body that looks like energy but gives no warmth. Here, the bracing that keeps asking for a little more is met without argument, until the task and the strain that outlived it begin to separate. A quiet permission to believe the empty gauge, and to stop running the engine dry for a minute.

Tender, reassuring, steady

Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
