Trying to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time




I am sitting on the bed, propped up against the pillow. Through the white lace curtains, i see the sky and the leaves of trees swaying. The soft sunlight filters through, making the entire space seem comforting.
A haven.

With Ben Folds' The Luckiest playing, i try to capture the moment with my mind for soon, it will be but a memory. [I feel like a person being held in the arms of the one they love.]

I am surrounded by so much beauty- the yellow towels on the wooden rack; the drops of sunlight falling gently on Jess as she sleeps in the bed next to mine, the comforter wrapped warmly around her; the joy of a little girl upon seeing herself in a photograh just taken; hot chocolate and biscuits for morning tea.

I am in Cowra. We spent four hours driving to get here.

Things are quiet. And peaceful. You realise that there is only so much of life you can plan. Sometimes, things just happen.
But they happen for a reason.

You live. You learn. You cherish the moment.
