Sitting in the sun, away from everyone who had done him harm in the past, he quietly listened to those who roamed by. He felt at peace in the moment, hoping it would last, but knowing the reprieve would soon come to an end. He closed his eyes, the sun beating down on face and he smiled. He smiled for the first time in as long as he could remember.

Finding solace in solitude and nature can bring inner peace and healing. This moment of tranquility may be fleeting, but the smile it brings is a reminder of the resilience within us. Embracing such moments can help us endure and overcome past pain.
