It interesting to me how slight a shift it can take to move from dully exisiting to happy to be alive- just a little check in the mind, a pause, then a reorientation. Moving to where each stillness, each sensation becomes precious, valuable, to be drunk in, savoured- this is life, happening before my eyes- each moment is new, full- it will not happen again- as mundane as sitting in the cafe waiting to close might seem, this is unique life, never to be repeated. True, a similar situation will occur next week, but it will still be something new- a new entry into experience, into memory. The company, again, of a good friend ( albeit a preoccupied one) with whom one has enough understanding as to render small talk and idle chatter unecessary, i am enjoying, just as it is- there are no demands, expectations, dissatisfactions burdening our time together- it is just good human company, the often underated pleasure of being accepted, of simply being liked.
Just appreciating the ambiance of my world... don't mind me.
