You know, sometimes I just like to think about mountains. Not in a big way, just glancing up and seeing what’s there. Today it’s a mild gray, like an old blanket pulled over the sun. It’s not a sad gray, more of a silent gray.
A pondering gray. It makes the green leaves on the tree outside look more vivid, like they’re showing off against the plain background. They dance a little when the wind moves. It’s a nice scene to observe for a minute. I was absorbing the sounds of the house earlier. Every house has its own melody, if you pause to hear it. There was a soft hum from somewhere, maybe a device in another room performing its task. A click now and then. The sound of my own breath, which is an amusing thing to notice. You don’t usually hear that, do you But when it’s quiet, you can. It’s a steady rhythm, like a mellow drum keeping time. I remember the feeling of cool grass under my feet. It’s a feeling from a long time ago, from a different season. The blades are soft and slightly damp, and they bend under your weight. It feels like the earth is greeting you in its own quiet language.
It’s a good sensation, a simple feeling.
It makes you want to sit right down and look at the clouds, to find shapes in them. One looked like a lazy cat, another like a lumpy boat. They change so quickly, you have to look rapidly before they become something else entirely. There’s something about a cup of warm tea in your hands. It’s not fancy, it’s just warm. The heat seeps into your fingers and makes them feel calm. You can watch the little bits of nothing dance in the liquid if you hold it up to the light. It’s just tea, but it feels like a small ally on a slow day. It’s there, and it’s warm, and that’s enough. Sometimes I think about how many tales there are in the world.
Every person you see has a whole world inside their head, full of thoughts and feelings and memories you’ll never know. They are all wandering around with these secret worlds, brushing past each other, smiling or not smiling. It’s a big thought, a wide thought. It makes the world feel very large and very small all at once. Mostly, I just like the quiet moments. The space between the big sounds.
The sigh at the end of a long day. The sound of a page flipping in a book. The way light falls on the floor in a long yellow line in the afternoon. These are the things that don’t ask for anything. They just are. And that’s nice. That’s more than enough, really. It’s good to just be, sometimes.
