# Observations.md: Notes on the Unseen

## The Gentle Act of Noticing

In a world rushing toward conclusions, "observations.md" reminds us to pause. It's a digital notebook, plain and unadorned, where we jot down what catches the eye—a frost-kissed window on a December morning, the way steam rises from a cup of tea, or a stranger's quiet smile on a crowded street. These aren't grand revelations, just honest records of the moment. Like Markdown itself, simple and readable anywhere, our observations strip away excess, revealing truth in the everyday.

## Plain Text, Lasting Echo

Markdown files endure because they demand nothing fancy—no bold graphics or fleeting trends. They hold thoughts in their raw form, editable and shareable. So too with life: when we observe without judgment, our inner notes accumulate. A child's laughter cutting through winter chill, the steady rhythm of breath during uncertainty—these fragments build a quiet wisdom. No need for analysis; the act of seeing is enough.

## Cultivating a Habit

To live by observations.md:
- Carry a small notebook, digital or paper.
- Note one thing each day that surprises you.
- Return later, not to explain, but to remember.

On this solstice eve in 2025, such habits ground us amid change.

*In the margin of every day lies a story worth keeping.*
