Trying Less

12 min

Effort can arrive before stillness does: a set jaw, a furrowed brow, the mind leaning towards a calmer next moment. Trying Less follows these small signs of strain and explores release as an opening, rather than another act of pushing. Attention widens, the breath is left alone, and calm is allowed to settle without being forced into place.
