| White Rain Lily Diminutive beauty of delicate grace, almost unnoticed, nestled in grass at my feet. Perfect-formed petals, whitest of whites, two finely veined leaves like dainty arms uplifted.

| Morning coffee, hot between my hands, I cradle its warmth and watch it steam. The kitchen quiet, soft and still, the world outside, a distant dream. I sip it slow, I take my time, the bitter sweetness on my tongue. These minutes mine, this peace I hold, before the day has just begun. A simple thing, a daily gift, this ritual that sets me right. One perfect cup, one breath of calm, to carry with me through the fight. |
