Last evening, I settled into my favorite chair with nothing planned — no phone, no tasks, just a quiet corner and a cup of tea.
At first, my mind wandered: what to do next, what I had missed today, what tomorrow might bring. But I kept returning to the present — the warmth of the cup, the soft light in the room, the gentle hum of life around me.
It reminded me that stillness isn’t about stopping life. It’s about noticing it. In the quiet, the ordinary becomes rich: textures, scents, sounds, and the simple rhythm of being alive.
Today, carve out a few minutes of intentional stillness. Sit, breathe, and notice. Life reveals its depth in these quiet, ordinary moments if we’re willing to pause.
