A normal morning can become one of the things you eventually miss most.

The days you will miss are almost never the memorable ones. They are the mornings with a particular light, a particular person moving around the kitchen, a routine so stable it seemed permanent. Their power comes from repetition, and repetition is exactly what makes them invisible while they last.

You cannot preserve all of it and you should not try. But you can be awake in a few of these mornings, and awake is enough. Notice the ordinary shape of a day you are currently inside.
