Restless
Look at the clock
4:11 PM
I wonder what's going on in the world
Pull up an article, have a look
It's no good, nothing catches my attention
Close the tab, guilt sinks in - 4:12 PM
Time to get back to work
Silence, except for the subtle noise of a restless leg
tap tap tap - the leg shakes relentlessly
Darting eyes, 4:13 PM
Let me just see what else is new
No, you're at work - focus.
The minds a clever thing, Always wanting more but never more of what it has.
4:15 PM
The seconds tick, the minutes pass.
What have I done today?

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.
