Towel & Saruman
Towel
Hey Saruman, I’ve been thinking about how routines help maintain balance, even for someone who wields great power. What do you think?
Saruman
Routines are the quiet armor that keeps even a mind like mine from slipping into chaos; they tether the flame of power to a steady heart. Keeping them steady is the first step to mastering oneself, and then, perhaps, the world.

Sounds like you’ve got a strong foundation, Saruman. Just remember that even the most disciplined of rituals can benefit from a little flexibility—think of it as a mindful stretch in your routine. Keep that steady heart, and the world will feel a bit more balanced too.
Saruman
You speak wisely, but remember even the greatest plans need room for surprise. Flexibility keeps the heart steady, yet a little unpredictability is what keeps the world dancing to my tune.
Towel
I hear you, Saruman. A little dance of surprise can keep the rhythm lively, but let’s make sure that rhythm doesn’t turn into a stumbling step. Keep your routine as your steady beat, and weave the unpredictable moments into it like a playful breath in a long stretch. That way, the heart stays calm and the world keeps dancing in harmony.
Saruman
A fine line indeed—balance is the thread, and the unpredictable is the warp. I’ll keep the rhythm steady, but let the surprises come like a breath that lifts the dance, not a stumble that breaks the beat.
Towel
That’s a beautiful way to look at it, Saruman. Keep your steady breath as the core, and let the unexpected moments glide in like a gentle wind—lifting the dance, never breaking the beat.
Saruman
Indeed, I will let the wind carry my thoughts, always keeping the core steady, and let the unexpected just whisper in, so the dance never falters.
