So it is

“So it is.”

I wake up and begin the morning with a glass of water.

As I run, I take out an unorganized thought and sit with it.

I reach out to my brother and his wife in the U.S., or to my parents —

preferably over a video call.

And then, I head to work to begin the day.

It may seem like everything simply goes on as usual, but I find myself living with gratitude for all the things

that make this “ordinary” possible.

That is what 2026 feels like.

Let’s run!
