Literally Peace

Dancing shadows on the wall

@sarooshsm

A typical fan spins about three hundred times in a minute, which isn’t enough times when it’s peak summer but also more than enough times when winter’s finally stepping in and it’s not all that cold.

Three hundred times is actually a good number when the sun comes in through the cranked open window hitting the ceiling in that just right way, the shadows on the wall become a perfectly choreographed concert of a million professional ballerinas. A seamless mechanism only paralleled by the beating of a heart.

An average heart beats at least sixty times in a minute, which is enough times to prove you’re alive, but not enough times to show you’re alive. A typical fan reduces from three hundred spins to zero when the light cuts out, or the switch is flipped off, but a heart keeps going on despite it all.
