What the scent brings to light in the subconscious

and helps return to a natural sensitivity where joy is not measured by things.

Fragrant Message
You smell like silence,
where nothing needs to be explained about why you stopped running.
You are like the inner decision
to leave the race,
to stay,
to listen,
to dissolve.
You whisper:
“What is real can’t be measured.
It simply is.”
