Luxury
Today, I feel luxurious.Luxury is the freedom to move my body without pain.To wake with ease and stretch beneath the soft light of morning.To savor a bowl of hot oats, then run ten steady kilometers—breath and earth in rhythm, every step a quiet victory.Luxury is a two-hour nap with no guilt, no rush.It is opening … Continue reading Luxury
