Through a veil of steady rain, the bamboo knock taps a slow, meditative rhythm beside a glowing paper lantern tucked beneath a cedar bough. Low thunder rumbles like distant watercolor strokes, while the wind tone carries the hush of a forest holding its breath. Gentle crickets rise in the understory, their evening song wrapped in the whisper of a passing breeze. This is a hush for sleepers, a quiet ceremony of rain-washed air and candle-warm stillness.
