Treasuring a tiny package received in the mail
There is always one moment in my day that somehow glints out from all the other moments. It's often unplanned and unanticipated. I am sure that as a child, I had many more of these moments, since much more of my day was unplanned and unanticipated. Although, I am trying to notice these moments as they occur; and at the same time, allowing them to fade away into the day. So, when opening my tiny package and reading the miniature card, a felt a flush of emotion. I sat down. I gave the moment its due. I didn't rush it. And for that, I am glad. For today was not mundane. Today, I treasured a tiny package I received in the mail.

who was it from?
ReplyDeleteYou, of course!
ReplyDeleteI think it's also true that these moments happen more frequently in childhood because much more of life is new and fresh during childhood - childhood is full of magic ..
ReplyDeleteYes. And somehow, some way I want to bring that magic into the present. In simple day-to-day ways. It's just something worth cultivating.
