there is a kitty napping on the floor, the house is quiet except for house-like muttering and creaking, outside sound seems muted by the warmth of the day, and i’m am content in this quiet space. today is a day for puttering, for moving slow; not for checking off items on a to-do list. today is summer – a slow long stretch of day to soak in, enjoy, savour.
my eyes are feeling heavy and i know that there is a nap in my future. i could resist, get up and accomplish things, if i really wanted to. but, i don’t want to. i want to relish this quiet, not chase it away with bustling and rushing motion. and while i realize that there are things that i could be working on, none of them are vital to life, so they can wait.
