I like your final point about work and rest and "a moment when it’s okay to just be perfectly both! And honestly, wouldn’t it be better for us all if more moments were?" Such a subtle yet important point!

Thanks for reminding me that perspective matters.

Also, wired ear buds only. I do not like air pods. :)

“work and rest aren’t only a matter of the things that we do - but also always a matter of the ways that we do them.” -- love this! So many things are just about perspective, aren’t they?

What a delightful and heartwarming story! It's incredible how you turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a beautifully captured moment of joy and contentment. Your ability to find freedom in the choices you make, even in seemingly mundane tasks like doing laundry, is truly amazing.

As someone who cannot rest too long, I do find rest in slow work as well.

It's a lovely movement of appreciation and creation. And a very nice dappled green and blue background to your laundry.
