A Tall Stretch

Warm midday sunlight cut across the floor, and suddenly my limbs felt loose and full of breath. I gave my shoulders a casual roll, adjusted my stance, and slid one hand deep into my pocket. Looking around at the room from up high, I noticed a tiny potted plant resting on the nearby shelf. I leaned forward just an inch to tap the green leaf with my fingertips. It felt cool and very real. Standing tall right here feels wonderful.
