Let your own gaze rest in the quiet space

A thin shadow falls across a white wall, while one quiet object rests on a table. In a place with little in it, the direction of light and the slight change in an edge begin to speak softly. Notice the distance between the small form and the open space around it. In that pause, an ordinary scene can take on a rhythm that belongs only to your way of seeing.
