You watch a single leaf slowly spiral down from a tree branch, tracing its exact path toward the ground below.
You find two nearly identical documents and choose to meticulously compare the minute variations between the two copies.
You remain still in a familiar waiting area, patiently waiting for the other person to start the standard greeting ritual.
You wait near a property line, sensing the slight shift in air pressure just before someone walks across it.
You find yourself on a street with construction barriers, electing to use the narrow, poorly marked service path instead of the main road.
You stand by a window, waiting for the quality of the afternoon sunlight to change enough to feel prepared for the next phase.
