Pendulum(PEN-juh-lum)

Quick Detail: A weight that swings in steady rhythm.

Definition: A pendulum moves with deliberate precision, sweeping back and forth in a repeating arc. Its motion is calming yet exact, echoing the quiet measure of passing time. Even slight shifts can change its rhythm, making it sensitive to the world around it. The regular swing often creates a sense of inevitability, as though each moment is linked to the next. It is a symbol of cycles, balance, and momentum.
