When the afternoon heat shimmers, Lola wades in up to her waist, then dives. Underwater, the world goes quiet—no notifications, no small talk, no deadlines. Just the cool blue hum and the glitter of light through the surface. Here’s a short piece for : Evening falls

By 7 a.m., her towel is staked at the shore’s edge. She watches the waves fold into foam, listens to the hiss and retreat—a rhythm older than worry. While others scroll through their phones, Lola reads the horizon. While others chase plans, she chases the next cool rush of water over her ankles. She thinks: This is my church

And tomorrow, she’ll do it all over again.
