“The dark brown liquid sits calmly in the white ceramic mug. Steam rises gently from the surface, dissipating into the air. Suddenly, a drop of coffee falls from the pour spout of the coffee maker above. It plummets down rapidly, breaking through the still surface of the coffee. As it hits, it creates a small splash, sending tiny droplets scattering. Ripples radiate outward from the impact point, disturbing the tranquility of the coffee. The drop merges into the pool of liquid, its identity vanished. But for a brief moment, it made its mark, leaving behind fading rings on the surface as the only evidence of its existence. Within seconds, the coffee returns to serenity, the fleeting drama of the falling drop already forgotten.”
