the centre

27 June 2026 · Windermere

The waves arrived first. Everything else followed.

The lake was breathing today.

Long waves arrived from nowhere, and I found myself breathing through them, and they through me.

Breath is not mine.

It is borrowed wind.

The same invisible movement that bends the meadow, stirs the trees, carries a butterfly.

Perhaps every inhale is the world entering.

Every exhale, the world continuing.
