what happens first

what happens first

most people show up still running something.

a background loop. a defense. a way of staying ahead of discomfort.
you don’t have to name it — it shows up in the room with you.

we’re not here to interrupt or analyze it.
we just don’t give it anything to hold onto.

the space is quiet. steady. simple.
you’re not being watched. there’s nothing to perform.

at first, you might feel like you forgot something.
like you’re supposed to be doing more.
that passes.

your breath slows. your shoulders drop.
you notice you’re here.

that’s the beginning.
