Time in her Kathmandu residence

She had spent her life seeking answers, only to find more questions. Yet in the silence of those moments, she found a strange kind of peace.

In the suspended, hovering pieces of her life, she had always kept herself apart, a careful distance from the faces and places that drifted through her days. She pushed them away softly, deliberately, as though the gentlest force might spare her the hurt of letting them stay too long.
