Do not chase every sound; some rattles are wind.
Not every noise deserves pursuit. The world is full of clatters that mean nothing, distractions that eat your energy and leave you breathless with emptiness. Wisdom is in knowing which sound is signal and which is only breeze.
Noise vs. Notice
A rattle in the nursery may be mischief — or just the wind. Chasing all of them ensures you miss the one that mattered.
The Lesson in Discernment
Curiosity is good; obsession is exhausting. The ear must learn to sort the hollow from the heavy. Not every echo is worth the hunt.
Practical Guidance
Pause before running: Ask if the sound deserves your feet.
Test the air: Learn to tell wind from warning.
Conserve your chase: Save energy for what truly matters.
Today’s Practice
Today, let one rattle pass unanswered — and see if silence explains it.
