as I touch down in Cusco

I felt breath like i haven't even remembered as soon as I touched down in Cusco. Like I had forgotten all this time what it was like to be at ease,to breathe. Like when you realize you had been tensing a muscle only because you release it. Suddenly a lot more is joy. I can feel acutely the spaces in my body where I had been holding on to tension, and all the muscle memory of stress patterns peels off in layers. My feet are so much happier here, the edges curl towards the floor to pick up more earth energy and pull it in from the soles each time I inhale. 

I guess subconsciously I knew from the space in the back of my heart that this is the place and the time, but I definitely never would have imagined it would happen so immediately.

Buenos, dulces noches. I have arrived.
