Hum

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

In the quiet of the chamber, she felt the pulse of her own matter—a low thrumming that rose from the marrow, through the fascia, and out to the skin. Each breath tuned the frequency, and she realized that self-perception was not a static image but a resonance, a harmonic feedback loop where the body’s internal vibration shaped the mind’s sense of being. When the hum faltered, the edges of her identity blurred; when it steadied, she knew herself again.
