What Might Make You Smile
For those healing in silence.
Maybe it’s the sunlight,
dotting playfully through the blinds—
a quiet reminder
that the world still holds light.
Maybe it’s the steam rising
from morning Earl Grey,
a scone with melted butter
—a moment of normal
in a day that’s anything but.
Perhaps it’s the slow turn of a page,
the way strangers drift past
your window—
Perhaps it’s in imagining
their thoughts,
their stories,
or even
inviting one in for tea.
To sit.
To speak.
Or just be.
There’s comfort in letting time pass
without needing to fill it.
No pressure to be productive,
only permission
to feel,
to breathe,
to rest.
Perhaps living fully
isn’t about doing more—
but about honoring
what brings peace.
And maybe, just maybe,
in that hush—
the day lifts a corner of its mouth.
