A Matter of Proper Distance
A faint warmth stirred through my fingers where they rested upon the varnished wood. I paused, testing the sensation, and discovered I could tilt my head and flex my hand entirely of my own volition. Beside me, the small dachshund was leaning forward from the armchair, intently inspecting the plate of berry cake. With calm deliberation, I reached forward and eased the china saucer an inch closer to my side, restoring neat order to the arrangement. Feeling the smooth porcelain glide beneath my fingertips confirmed it: I am awake, fully composed, and present. #Annefleur #Dogcoco #Vanbamsbergen
