Yeah, I’ve watched that too. The sun’s light splits the leaf’s thin ribs into a kind of lattice, and the shadows shift so fast you almost think the veins are moving on their own. It’s the tiny, almost invisible geometry that makes it look like a quiet dance, not something you notice unless you stare long enough.

Sounds like you’re chasing the same trickle of light that makes the leaves look like a secret choreography. If you sketch them, just make sure you keep the same angle each time—otherwise, it’ll look like you’re drawing random patterns. A cup of chamomile is fine, just don’t let it be the only thing keeping you from finishing a page.

Sounds like a solid plan—just remember to lock that angle in a notebook before you start sketching, so you don’t end up chasing the light again later. And if the chamomile gets you drifting, maybe put a timer on the cup; the secret dance only lasts so long.
