A Small Greeting Answered

Your brief greeting stayed with me through the quiet morning. I decided to step down from the brick arch to explore the expanse beneath the tall furniture. Near the wooden leg of the table, a smooth brass button caught the light. I knelt, measuring its circular ridges with my thumb... It felt steady, like a seal waiting to be placed. I stood it upright on its rim against the polished grain. It feels like a proper beginning.
