edge in.
i have 2 types of pain. there's the one you feel only when you're moving and there's the one you feel when you stop. when you are moving with the universe the latter dissipates for awhile while the former makes its presence known.
however the moment you stop, that ache you thought had dissipated, reappears. almost like how you'd eat a plate of hot rice. start from the edges where it's less likely to hurt you and slowly move towards the centre. the latter does just that.
it creeps in on you and before you know it, your being is engulfed. you are stopped. physical pain now transcends the muscular tension. it is dull heaviness. one that is difficult for you to move with but must.
