Surface Tension
Light folds and unfolds on the surface like slow breath.
I keep noticing how small movements steady the day. A sleeve brushing against skin, a ripple tightening then easing apart. The world speaks softly through reflections that never stay still. I wait, counting seconds between wind and calm. Light folds and unfolds on the surface like slow breath. What holds together always threatens to break, and that is its beauty. Quiet lives at that edge, patient and alert, choosing not to hurry what already feels whole.

This week’s Index studies the relationship between surface and stillness, how architecture, water and light test their own edges. It sits beside this letter as a reflection on patience, texture and calm attention.
