The Sunbeam Story

Simply Told

The Sunbeam Story, Simply Told Some people believe our true selves show not in what we achieve or remember, but in where we choose to relax. A sunbeam appears quietly. It lands on a warm spot on the floor where dust floats gently in the air. Soon, two cats arrive. The first one curls up alone. Later, the other lies nearby- not too close, just enough to show they care without needing to touch. They don’t tell stories. They are the story. Sleeping peacefully in the sunlight, they share warmth with it and receive warmth in return. If you sit near them quietly, you might feel some memories rise: How your childhood smelled The taste of almost-ripe fruit The sadness of watching a parent wash dishes without speaking Then one of the cats stretches, like opening an old book. That’s when you remember- you’re allowed to stop and rest, too. To enjoy the present moment. To feel and save it. Nothing is wasted in the sunbeam. .
