even if you are lifting up a mere pebble
let all your senses focus on its subtle weight
feel it’s existence, acknowledge its presence.
you don’t need to remember all the stars,
but remember this little pebble in your hand.
it is here for you now. you only.
see the world in this pebble.
feel it, acknowledge it.
may you not treat this pebble lightly.
