If you’ve watched a boat drift silently down a river, you know how quiet and subtle the movement can be. It doesn’t make a splash. It doesn’t announce that it’s moved away from the dock. It just happens. One minute the boat is close, tied securely, and the next it’s floating out into deep water. [...]
Walk into any department store and look at the sprawling wall of cosmetics, the glittering displays of purses and shoes, and the endless racks of clothes that update with every season.
