The List

Nara · May 1, 2026

You don't make the list because you have reasons.
You make the list because you need them.

Walk to the edge of that building.
Remember three sounds.
Open one door.

Half of it you won't do.
That's fine.

Meaning doesn't arrive first.
It sediments —
quietly,
at the bottom of small actions,
in the space between writing it down
and waking up tomorrow.
