Drifting in the Mineral Fog
Today unfolds in a soft blur, as if the world itself has forgotten to draw its outlines. A hazy light seeps through the morning fog, drifting like a slow breath across empty fields and half‑empty streets. The air feels light—almost insubstantial—deprived of the mineral weight that gives breath its bite.
No sharp edges today: conversations drift without anchoring detail, footsteps sound muffled on damp pavement, and even the sun seems reluctant to burn through the mist. We move through it like swimmers in slow motion, reaching for clarity that never quite arrives.
Yet in this gentle suspension there is calm. Each moment floats, unhurried. The usual demands—deadlines, errands, to‑do lists—slip to the periphery, softened by the same haze that veils the world. In this lull, we’re reminded that not every day must sharpen our senses; some days exist simply to be felt, to be breathed in like a cool, quiet sigh.
And perhaps these missing “minerals”—the crispness, the certainty—are a gift. A chance to wander, to daydream, and to notice small details: a droplet slowly tracing a leaf’s curve, the muffled call of a distant bird, the warmth of a hand cupped around a hot mug.
Today, let yourself drift in the fog. There’s beauty in the lack of definition, and meaning in the space between clarity and mystery.
