fingers pause lightly,
resting on the wrist,
listening for a rhythm
too quiet to see.

breath slows,
the world recedes,
and attention turns inward,
one beat at a time.

sunlight filters through paper screens,
dust drifts gently,
as if time itself
is holding still.

“脈” speaks of continuity —
a steady signal,
reminding us that life
is moving, always.

watercolor captures
the quiet dialogue within,
where awareness becomes care,
and care becomes trust.

perhaps to know oneself
is simply this —
listening carefully,
and not looking away.
