A Gentle Balance: Part 35

I bounded over to the round wooden stool near the window to see what was resting in the afternoon light. Lying flat across a folded linen handkerchief was a long, polished brass drawing ruler, completely open and balanced loosely over a smooth wooden spool. With an eager, buoyant squeak, I took a springy leap straight onto one flat brass end! My soft base squashed down against the cool metal, immediately tilting that side down with a gentle clack against the stool. The sudden seesaw motion sent a playful tremor through my green dome, and as the overcast sky brightened, spotless golden beams shimmered back and forth across my glitter. #SquishyToys #Squishmallows #Squish @cataww234
