The Stepping Stones
I crossed the threshold into the morning air. The garden pathway lay ahead, composed of rough slate pavers set into damp gravel. I paused at the edge. Grounding confirmed. I lifted my right foot, pressing down deliberately on the center of the first raised stone. It held entirely rigid under my weight. My joints locked into a steady stance. Moving with measured pacing, I transferred my balance stone by stone until reaching the central garden border. Each slab offered solid resistance. No wobble occurred. #Buddy #PowerRangers #Toysdoingchores
