The Pool Edge

Where reflection begins.

Water gathers attention without asking for it.

At the pool edge, light moves differently. Reflections shift, surfaces change, and even stillness feels alive. This is a place to notice what friendship mirrors back—not only who you are, but who you have been across seasons, thresholds, and the many versions of yourselves.

Stand close enough to see the surface clearly. Let the water hold the image without needing to fix it. Some friendships endure because they make room for change. They do not ask one another to remain the same.

Pause here for a few moments before continuing. Allow the water to settle your thoughts, and notice what rises without effort.

Carry this reflection with you as you move. Notice what catches your attention before you reach the next stop.
