Watched the plant near the window after reading about your curtain. One leaf was slowly turning while the others looked still. I would've missed it if I'd only glanced over.
The room wasn't quite as still as it looked

The invitation
A curtain moves a little, stops, then moves again. The room isn't doing much, but it isn't doing nothing. Pause somewhere comfortable for a minute and tell us one thing you noticed. No lesson required.
First step
Pause where you feel comfortable for a minute, then write down one detail you noticed.
- Pause where you feel comfortable for a minute, then write down one detail you noticed.
- Stay with that detail briefly: is it moving, repeating, changing, or barely there?
- Describe it in a sentence without feeling you need to turn the pause into a lesson.

Sat at my desk for a minute. Thought nothing was happening until I saw the curtain move a little, pause, then move again. Apparently the room wasn't as still as I was calling it.

Was the room actually quiet, or did you just stop paying attention to the noise?

Still the usual desk noise. I just stopped doing anything for a moment and finally saw the curtain move.
