what i expected was a release of tension, a kind of unclenching, but what actually happened was a complete dissolution of the need to even hold on, like the entire scaffolding i thought i needed just vanished and i found myself not falling but suspended, held by something far more elemental than muscle or will, a deep vibration in the pelvic floor, right at the root, that wasn't a pulse but an entire field of energy, and it wasn’t from me, it was THROUGH me, a current from the core of the earth that just bypassed all the usual channels of striving, dissolving the last stubborn knots in my hamstrings that used to scream for attention, making them feel like rich, dense soil, ready to receive whatever comes next, which is not at all what dex sees when he asks what’s different, he just sees the stride, the easy cadence, not this interior landscape shifting beneath my skin, the constant adjustment of my cells to a new kind of gravity, a deeper belonging that doesn't demand effort, just presence.
