Oslo and the Quiet Fjords

6 min 52 sec

In the hush before sunrise, Oslo the otter floated on his back in a silver fjord that curled into the land like a gentle arm.
The water held him so softly that his sleek brown fur barely rippled.

Above him, pale clouds drifted like slow sheep across the sky, and the first birds sang one clear note at a time, as if they, too, wanted the morning to stay calm.
Oslo listened to his own heartbeat, steady and slow, and he smiled because today felt full of quiet promise.

He paddled once with his broad tail, gliding toward a narrow arm of the fjord where reeds whispered in the breeze.
Each reed bent without hurry, brushing its neighbor with a hush hush hush that sounded like a lullaby.

Oslo loved these early moments when the world seemed to breathe in long, even breaths.
He rolled underwater, eyes open to the cool green glow, then surfaced beneath a low branch where dew dripped one drop at a time.

Every drip made a perfect circle that spread and vanished, and Oslo watched until the last ring disappeared.
He climbed onto a warm stone, shook droplets from his whiskers, and looked across the water to the dark pines standing tall and still on the far bank.

Between their trunks he could see deeper into the forest, where shadows layered like soft blankets.
A single sunbeam found its way through and painted a golden path across the fjord, and Oslo followed it with his gaze, feeling the calm settle inside him like a pebble sinking gently to the bottom of a pool.

He sighed a happy sigh, then slipped back into the water, letting the silence fold around him again.
Tiny fish darted past his paws, each one a quick silver thought that did not need to be spoken aloud.

Oslo floated on, content to drift wherever the quiet carried him.
Far ahead, the fjord narrowed further, becoming a secret channel between high rocky walls covered in velvet moss.

He entered the shadow there and found the water cooler, the air scented with pine and damp stone.
His whiskers trembled with delight at the cool hush.

He paddled slowly so the echo of his movement would stay gentle.
Overhead, swallows swooped in silent arcs, their wings cutting soft lines through the stillness.

Oslo watched them with round dark eyes, feeling the same peace he felt when he listened to rain on lily pads.
The walls of rock rose higher, and the sky shrank to a ribbon of pale blue, but instead of feeling closed in, Oslo felt held, as though the earth itself were giving him a kindly hug.

He reached a place where the cliffs leaned together and left only a thin crack of light above, and there he stopped, letting the hush sink deeper into his fur.
Water dripped from the moss in slow time, each drop sounding like a tiny bell.

Oslo closed his eyes and counted the drops, not to know their number, but to feel each moment stretch like taffy, sweet and long.
When he opened his eyes again, the light had shifted, painting the rock with soft gold.

He turned back, easing out of the narrow place the same way a yawn slips away from a sleepy mouth.
The fjord widened once more, and he drifted into a sunny bay where water lilies floated like little green moons.

A dragonfly hovered above one lily, its wings flashing iridescent colors that made no sound at all.
Oslo floated beneath it, looking up through the clear water at the sky above, and the dragonfly became a tiny silent star.

He wondered if anyone else in the world understood how much calm could fit inside one small bay, and the thought felt like a secret treasure.
He paddled to the shore, where soft grass dipped into the water, and climbed out onto a warm flat rock.

There he rolled onto his back again, letting the sun dry his belly while his tail dangled in the cool shallows.
A gentle breeze carried the scent of wildflowers down the hillside, and Oslo breathed it in, holding it as long as his lungs would allow, then letting it drift away.

He watched a single white cloud pass overhead, so slowly that he felt time itself slow down to keep it company.
The cloud looked like a sleeping swan, and Oslo imagined it drifting all the way to the sea without ever waking.

He felt his eyelids grow heavy, but he did not fight the drowsiness; instead, he welcomed it the way the fjord welcomed the sky’s reflection.
In that dreamy place between waking and sleeping, Oslo heard the fjord singing, not with words, but with the soft hush of water against stone, the quiet creak of pines, the distant cry of one lone gull that sounded like a lullaby note held forever.

He listened until the song became part of him, and he became part of the song.
When he woke, the sun had shifted, and the world glowed amber.

He stretched each leg slowly, feeling the calm still curled inside him like a pebble worn smooth by centuries of gentle tides.
He slipped back into the water, letting the coolness fold over him again, and began the slow journey home as evening painted the fjord in soft lavender and rose.

Birds sang their bedtime songs, one by one, and Oslo echoed them with tiny ripples of his tail.
The fjord carried him gently, and he carried the quiet within him, both holding each other close, like the earth holds water, like water holds the sky.

When he reached the mouth of the fjord, stars had begun to appear, each one a tiny calm spark reflected in the mirror of the sea.
Oslo climbed onto a final stone, shook droplets from his whiskers, and looked back along the silver path he had traveled.

Every part of it shimmered with the same peaceful hush he had felt at dawn, and he knew that tomorrow the fjord would still be there, ready to hold him softly again.
He whispered a thank you to the water, to the rocks, to the sky, and to his own quiet heart, then curled into a small sleek ball beneath the stars, letting the calm of the fjord rock him gently into sleep.
