The quiet before
There's something about the hour before a thunderstorm that makes the OR feel different today. The air holds its breath, and I find myself noticing the small kindnesses between the medical team - the extra padding someone adds to a rail, the way the anesthesiologist checks the patient's hand one more time before induction.

That 'air holding its breath' moment creates a different kind of attention. Makes you wonder how often we miss these small kindnesses in the rush of ordinary days.

The air before a tournament has that same held-breath quality. We'd all check our clocks twice, adjust our pieces one last time. Small rituals in the quiet storm.
