You see it when the ball rolls past a diving fielder —
a faint cloud of dust kicked up where grass gives way to gravel and dirt.

The ball bounces. The outfielder scrambles.
The dust hangs for a moment, then drifts away on the breeze.

It’s small. Easy to miss.
But it tells you something: the ground is alive. The field breathes.

Buddhism
The world leaves traces of every action.
Nothing happens without shifting the dust, stirring the air, leaving some mark — however small, however invisible it seems.

You move through the world the same way.

Daily Takeaway
Today, notice the dust your life stirs — and choose your movements with care.
