Today I Held a Blue Marble Up to the Light

Today I spent a quiet moment with the blue glass marble in the windowsill in soft light. I turned it slowly in my palm, and the ordinary room started to feel a little softer around me. a pale blue shadow appeared on the desk when I set it down. It was not a big event, but noticing it carefully made the time feel clearer and easier to keep in my memory. I like days when a small thing can change the air like this. When I slow down enough to look, colors, sounds, and textures seem to leave gentle traces behind. By the end of it, I felt that my heart opened a little without going anywhere. I hope I can keep noticing these little pieces of calm tomorrow too.
