Mind still rolling, breathing still stilted, discomfort still within… and yet something has released and I feel a freedom I have not felt in… well, I do not know. But it is an easing of something that once was wound tightly, the way the wrist always looks when a forgotten hair tie that was too tight is finally removed – the mark is still there and an itching is beginning, but the blood flows freely now… I can still feel the tingling sting in my fingertips, reminding me that the bindings that were so tight have, indeed, been loosened. Good things are to come, and soon.
