The Sound of Ordinary Things

There is a certain comfort in ordinary sounds.
A kettle beginning to murmur.
Footsteps in the next room.
A vehicle passing without urgency.
Nothing dramatic is happening.
No announcement. No milestone.
And yet, these small sounds hold a quiet assurance — life is moving, gently, without demanding applause.
We often wait for large moments to feel alive. Promotions. News. Celebrations.
But most of life sits inside the unremarkable.
The chair you always use.
The cup with a faint crack.
The familiar silence between two thoughts.
Maybe the real stability of a person is built not in grand events but in these unnoticed repetitions.
Nothing spectacular.
Just steady.
