I feel as light as a feather!

Take a heavy rucksack off after six hours and the arms want to float. It lasts about ninety seconds and it is one of the better sensations available to a person, mostly because the six hours came first.

Lightness is comparative, which is worth knowing rather than resenting. It doesn't come from having no weight. It comes from having recently put some down. If today feels buoyant, something got set down — an outcome that finally arrived, a conversation that turned out to be survivable. Worth locating what it was, because the feeling fades and knowing its cause doesn't.
