to illuminate a hundred
thousand billion galaxies

and just small enough to fit
into my embrace. — Sanober Khan

JoyBell C.

In every single scenario that you step into, in life, it is like stepping into a body of water and you need to stop and really stand there to feel what's going on in that water - the temperature, the direction of the current, the particles in the water that brush up onto your skin, you need to close your eyes and inhale deeply to distinguish the scents that come from it.
