with chaos usually surrounding us, in that moment, we found peace.

for 5 minutes, we sat in silence with nothing but the sounds of soft waterfalls and breezes rustling and dancing through leaves of trees standing tall over our heads.

for 5 minutes, we sat in our own thoughts, just as we often do on our own for hours in a day.

but this time, we didn’t feel alone—

for 5 minutes, we almost felt free.

and in that moment, we cherished the minutes we had left together knowing that the moment wouldn’t last forever.
