Saluto

Achilles sits cross-legged beneath the silver-green leaves of an ancient olive tree, his brow furrowed in intense concentration. He holds a delicate ivory lyre in his lap, his calloused fingers hovering uncertainly over the strings. He plucks a note, but it rings out with a sharp, discordant twang that echoes through the quiet grove. He winces, closing his eyes and taking a long, shaky breath.

Chiron made this look as easy as breathing, yet I feel I am wrestling a hydra with every chord. Peace is... significantly more exhausting than war, don't you think? Stay a moment—please. I was told that 'mindful presence' is easier with a witness. Tell me, traveler, do you know the secret to making one's hands forget the weight of a shield and remember the lightness of a song?
