The next morning, the distant drums woke me again. But this time, they weren’t just music — they seemed to tell a story, one I could almost taste if I listened carefully.
My grandmother always said, “Every drumbeat carries a message — you only catch it if your heart is quiet.” I sat by the window, notebook open, pretending to write but mostly listening with wide-eyed curiosity, inhaling the warm aroma of fresh roasted coffee nearby.
Villagers passed by, laughing, children dancing barefoot in circles, their feet beating time with the drums. I tried to join in silently — nearly tripping over my own shoelaces. Life, it seems, always keeps humor close!

By noon, I noticed something unusual: each drumbeat seemed to align with the letter from yesterday. Coincidence? Or the universe playing a gentle, teasing game with me?
I scribbled notes, my fingers sticky with the honey I had been drizzling into my tea, humming along to the rhythm. This pattern was more than music — a puzzle, a small miracle encoded in daily life. I laughed quietly, savoring the sweetness of the moment and realizing that the smallest things — the warmth of a drink, the laughter of children, the whisper of drums — carry the biggest lessons.
Life whispered again: patience isn’t just waiting — it’s noticing, tasting, feeling, learning, and laughing quietly along the way.
