Water the living thing

The boat is tied so it will still be there in the morning. That isn’t romance. That’s care. A rope. A post. A habit.
Water the living thing in your life. The basil. The dog. The friend you keep meaning to text. Your own throat. Neglect feels like rest until it becomes a drought.
Don’t wait to feel ready before you tend anything. Readiness is a luxury. The flower on the quay doesn’t wait to feel inspired. It drinks.
Pick one living thing. Return to it tomorrow. This is how a home stays a home, and a heart stays from going dry.
