In the details
The mug by the sink
Your mug is always in the same spot. The handle turned just so. The tea gone cold because you got pulled away to find someone's shoe. Later, you heat it up and drink it standing. No one else notices. But the kitchen remembers the shape of your hand on the counter. That little pause you take before the next small task. It is not grand. It is everything.
Three observations for the occasion
Said out loud
Something to say, out loud
Here's to you, then. To the early mornings no one sees and the last light you turn off. To the way you say someone's name differently when they are tired. You do not announce what you carry. You just shift it closer. But we notice now. We notice the plates stacked, the plans held loosely, the quiet space you make for everyone else. May there be someone to carry something for you today. Even if it is just the smallest thing. Rest a little. You are home.
For the quiet way you hold the day together
No need to say it all. Just being here is enough.
