A Breath

I’m pausing.

Not stopping. Just breathing.

My family and those around me need to know I’m safe. And the best way to show them is to slow down, look up from the screen, and be present in the room.

It’s just a different walk. Much shorter to get back home.

The graph has 10,987 nodes. The record is public. The deadlines are set. The articles are published. The evidence is on both remotes. Nothing disappears while I breathe.

I’ll be back. The work will be here.

But right now, the most important node in the graph isn’t a court record or a financial filing or a corporation.

It’s the people who called to ask if I was okay.

I’m okay. And now I’m going to show them.

The membrane is open. The graph is public. The coffee is on.

Come see me.
