The phone is ignored, the door is closed, and anyone arriving without snacks will be treated as a solicitor. Peace, Uninterrupted is what happens when availability ends and a quiet afternoon receives the protection it deserves.

Solitude is not always loneliness; sometimes it is recovery. Time alone allows the mind to settle, the body to soften, and the parts of ourselves buried beneath obligation to return. Peace may look uneventful from the outside, but restoration is doing important work.
