A Gentle First Wiggle

Everything was quiet and soft around me. I felt a tiny warmth in my fingers, so I tried to move them. My little hand wiggled, and my fingers gently brushed against the fluffy threads of the carpet beneath me. It tickled just a bit! I turned my head slowly toward a soft scrap of paper resting nearby on the rug. I reached out and tapped it with my fingertips, feeling so happy to say a quiet hello to this cozy world.
