Throughout the rainy day,
a quiet sense of order
filled the house. People coming, going,
tasks accomplished,
music playing, soft lights glowing —
It was a day of nothing major,
but a visitor remarked
on the abiding peace. It’s been
a good day, in an unassuming way,
while we await the imperceptible
unfolding of a timeless truth.
