A private celebration can be complete before it becomes a public announcement.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Good news now comes with an assumed next step, as though the thing has not fully happened until other people have been told. That reflex can hollow out the hour it belongs to, because part of you is already composing the message. Some moments are whole where they are, between the people who were actually there. Telling can wait without anything being lost.

When something good happens, give it a day before you tell anyone outside the room. Spend that day inside it rather than describing it. If it still wants sharing tomorrow, share it then.
