SEPTEMBER 25 · A SMALL CEREMONY

Let a little softness in.

Rain on the window. Warmth in your hands. A small chance to arrive in the day before asking anything more of it.

One sentence to keep

Choose a word for what you want more of today: ease, courage, delight, company. Write it somewhere only you need to see.

I welcome a little softness.
I make room for the good already here.
My next step can be small.

Take one unhurried breath. Choose a small action that belongs to your word. Open the curtain. Send the kind message. Let yourself enjoy the warm cup.
