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.
