Clean one corner

A messy room can feel like a verdict. As if the clutter is your character. It isn’t. It’s a pile. Piles can be moved.

Don’t start a war with the whole house. Choose a corner. The table. The sink. The place you sit to drink water. Make that one spot kind.

Dew on a small flower is still a whole sky, held. Your corner can be that. A cleared space is a place the mind can land.

When the rest of the room is still loud, you have a shore. That’s enough for tonight. Tomorrow can have another corner.
