twenty-six minutes the clock starts clicking, notifications ignored, focussed and writing.

what comes to mind? where do the thoughts go? where do thoughts come from? if I do not think, am I therefore not?

worries come, but worries go past regrets come back to glow in acknowledging, validating those that come past and present me make space to grow.
