Story Details

I find a smooth stone on the ground. I want to make it stand.

I try once. It falls.

I try again. It falls again.

“Why won’t you stand?” I feel a little frustrated.

I check the bottom. It’s curved.

I turn it. Try again. Still falls.

I breathe in. Slow and calm.

I try one tiny adjustment… It stands!

Sometimes the last try is the magic one.

Tiny balance. Big joy.
