warmth settles gently,
spreading from within,
as the last bite
finds its place.

conversation slows,
hands rest on the table,
and contentment
moves quietly inward.

outside, the world continues,
but here,
the body listens
to its own rhythm.

“胃” speaks of receiving —
the place where nourishment
is accepted,
and transformed.

watercolor captures
the calm after fullness,
where strength begins
not in effort, but in rest.

perhaps caring for life
means honoring this moment —
when the body says quietly,
enough.
