A marker placed in time

This is for future me, in case I look here.

You’re in Milan again. It’s mid-day, rainy and chilly outside. You’re in an AirBnB in your familiar neighborhood. I will go get lunch soon.

An endless series of coffees has done nothing for me. I am jet-lagged despite a full night’s sleep.

And starting, ever so slightly, to perceive the shadows that I shy away from, driving me this way and that.

It has taken a lifetime. A spiritual awakening of the educational variety—that’s my path, apparently.

“One day, he decided to be happy.” This works when I remember to make that decision.

“One day, he decided to be at peace.” That should work, too. Because why not?
