Suitcase on the Floor

17 min

A suitcase left half-unpacked can hold more than clothes: the place you miss, the room that does not yet know you, and the question of whether you are staying. The loneliness of being half-arrived is met without judgement, as honesty rather than failure. You do not have to unpack tonight; even the in-between is a place, and it counts.

Clear, grounding, light

Clear and grounding, present without weight — a few minutes to come back to the breath and carry on steadier.
