💫 Three Things Challenge #MM520

Today’s three words:

NAPE • NEAP • NEAR

Some days arrive like a storm tide.

Everything pulls at us at once.

Responsibilities.

Thoughts.

Memories.

Things that need doing.

Things we cannot change.

And then, thankfully, there are the quieter days.

Like a neap tide, when the sea seems to breathe a little more gently.

Those are the days when I try to do the same.

Release my shoulders.

Unclench my jaw.

Feel the breeze against the nape of my neck and simply be present for a moment.

No rushing ahead.

No replaying yesterday.

Just here.

Sometimes we spend so much time searching for peace that we don’t notice how near it already is.

In the sound of the sea.

In morning coffee.

In music.

In a few quiet minutes alone.

In someone sitting beside us without needing to say anything.

Peace doesn’t always arrive with a dramatic change.

Sometimes it comes like a neap tide—

softly,

quietly,

barely asking to be noticed.

And perhaps today, that’s enough.
