A smile is one of the more automatic things a face does, and yet how someone smiles, big and open without a second thought, closed-lipped and a little guarded, something they grew into over years, never something they've consciously thought about at all, reserved only for moments that strike them as truly funny or happy, …
A truly rushed morning strips breakfast down to whatever's realistic, and what someone falls back on when there's no time to spare, a pre-made bar or shake, something prepped the night before, eating in the car or on the walk out the door, or skipping it entirely, reveals real things about how they handle their …

Lighting the menorah takes the same few minutes every night of Hanukkah, and how someone approaches it, following every blessing precisely, turning it into a whole family production, sitting with it quietly, decorating a menorah that's entirely their own design, documenting it for everyone to see, or keeping it low-key and casual, tends to reveal …
