# Feeling Plain ## The Unadorned Heart In a world layered with filters and facades, "feel.md" whispers a quiet truth: emotions thrive in simplicity. Like Markdown—a plain text that renders cleanly—our deepest feelings need no embellishment. They arrive raw, unpolished, sometimes jagged. A quiet ache on a winter evening, the warmth of a shared glance, the steady rhythm of breath after loss. These are the source code of being human, meant to be felt as they are. ## Rendering What Matters When we honor that rawness, something beautiful emerges. Markdown doesn't hide its structure; it reveals it. So too with feelings: name them plainly, and they gain clarity. No need for grand gestures or hidden agendas. On this near-end-of-year night in 2025, as snow might blanket the ground outside, I sit with a simple prompt—a memory surfaces, unbidden. I let it be, watch it take shape. Shared in this form, it connects, heart to heart. ## A Gentle Invitation To live "feel.md" is to pause amid the rush: - Notice the subtle pull in your chest. - Name it without judgment. - Let it flow into words or silence. It's not about perfection, but presence. In embracing the plain, we find depth. *In the simplicity of feeling, we touch what endures.*
