When effort withdraws, something softer takes its place. The body settles into itself. The mind releases its habit of measuring outcomes. What remains is neither success nor failure, but simple presence.
Unfinished matters lose urgency. Conversations fade without regret. The day does not ask to be assessed; it only asks to be set down.
There is dignity in allowing closure without commentary. Some endings serve best when they are quiet, unexamined, and complete in their own unremarkable way.
