love [or something like that.]

********

last night i spent precious time with a girlfriend 

[it had been way too long since we last visited] 

and we chatted and ate and sipped and laughed.

this morning i sat with a cup of tea, writing much-to-be-said letters,

and then in the usual hobbit way of spending a day, 

it was time for second tea.

 *

the days have ended in light. 

the days have begun in love. 

this is how life should be lived:

in the moment. 

calm. 

loving. 

being....just being....in the goodness of it all. 

i'm on a journey and today it starts in the garden, 

and who knows where it will go from there 

or where it will end. 

all i know is this: 

ain't it all so sweet and grand, this life we live?
