Now Note: without my phone

I left my phone in the other room.
Not because I wanted to be present
but because I couldn’t find it.

At first, my hands twitched.
Then my thoughts wandered.
Then something in me settled.

I looked around.
There was a shadow moving on the wall.
A breeze that barely reached me.
The sound of my own breath,
uninterrupted.

I didn’t miss anything.
Except maybe myself.
And there I was.
