Entry #3 - A Taste of Serenity

    I take the tin case from my desk. It is a uniquely classic package in a modern time. The realization strikes me that this is one of the only constants in my memory, even if it is only tangential to my everyday life. 

    Inside and wrapped in a thin piece of paper are light green bits of freshness. I place one in my mouth and savor the taste. It is not a strong or overpowering sensation, but more akin to taking a breath in a snow-covered forest. I can almost hear the subtle sounds of serenity while I feel the refreshing coolness in my lungs. I imagine the gentle breeze and the soft sway of the trees. For a brief moment, I can feel myself taken away from the noise and chaos of the day.
