WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT TIME FROM A WET TOWEL

This morning, I learned something about time from a towel.

When I take a shower and leave the towel on the floor, I instantly create two timelines:

– One where I remember putting it there (the past)

– One where I picture myself picking it up later (the future)

And every time I walk by that towel and think, “I really need to put that in the wash,” I’m not actually here. I’m bouncing between what I already did and what I still haven’t done.

That towel becomes a tiny loop in time. It is a quiet reminder of something incomplete and without realizing it, it drains just a little of my energy. The moment I pick it up, wring it out, and put it where it belongs, I close the loop. I reclaim that energy to the now.

It made me realize that sometimes the heaviest things we carry aren’t the big emotional burdens. They’re the little undone things that tug us out of presence. One towel at a time. So today, I’m picking up the towel and I’m picking up my now.

I’d love to hear what you’re picking up or letting go of today.
