Before the storm hits....

In between days of climatic cruelty, I woke up to a morning of beautiful sunshine and a clear blue sky. The tensely dry cold air somehow managed to wind down, settling the sand from construction sites on the ground, next to a few dunes of not-yet-melted snow.

I didn’t know if it was because of the calm weather or the breathing techniques I picked up from my conference a few weeks ago but somehow my emotions have managed to settle as well. It's like I have made peace with them – even though I knew they were still lingering around deep in my heart. Yet, just like the storm that would come soon– I knew those feelings would eventually rise up to disturbances…

But for this moment, it was easy to just let go and enjoy the sunshine.
