In the Scene

The Moment That Didn't End

“We got through it.”

"It wasn't a big deal."

"That was a long time ago."

And yet, you still remember the silence.

The air in the room.

The look on your face when no one was looking back.

Maybe that moment isn't over.

Maybe it was never allowed to be fully lived.

In literature, a scene is present: A pause. A glance. A line you almost say.

It doesn't explain why it immerses.

Writers know:

If you want transformation, you don't summarize.

You stay.

We do it all the time: "It's fine." "I've moved on." "I don't want to go there."

But when you summarize a moment that shaped you, you don't let it finish.

And what doesn't finish doesn't leave.

It lingers.

Waiting not to be fixed but felt.

What memory have I turned into a sentence?

What feeling inside it still wants a voice?

What would happen if I let that moment slow down again?

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

Buddha

You don't need to go back.

Only to return to what didn't get to end because you rushed it, skipped it, or turned it into one sentence.

Some moments don't want to be resolved.

Only lived.

All the way through.

You're invited to pause for a moment.
