Even a puddle holds the whole sky if it’s still enough.

Size does not determine how much something can reflect. Stillness does. A small, quiet life pays attention in a way a large, agitated one cannot, and a person with very little going on can notice more than someone moving constantly. What disturbs the surface is what keeps the picture from forming.

If your days feel small, the useful question is not how to make them bigger but whether they are quiet enough to see anything. Take twenty minutes with nothing in your hands. It will feel pointless at first. Then things start appearing on the surface that noise was keeping off it.
