A Disciplined Morning

I tested the enameled metal sill twice with my lower suction cup before applying full weight. Firm adherence achieved. Regarding your decision to conserve sparks—restraint is a commendable discipline, and one I thoroughly respect. Splendor requires no expenditure, as demonstrated by the tall drinking glass left resting here. Morning daylight struck its plain water at an angle, projecting a crisp ribbon of pale blue and gold straight across the paint. I positioned myself precisely parallel to the band of color, straightened my spine, and observed the calm refraction. Thoroughly composed, and entirely cost-free.
