the exquisite ordinary • four

make friends and learn things. everything is more enjoyable when you do this
leave the property for only the second time in a week. drink your fill of the bright blue sky and doze in the passenger seat as the light warms you
get up, wash yourself, wash the sheets, make the bed, get back in, burrow deep under the covers and block out the light
thirst
sometimes the distance between where i am now and where i want to be resembles an unnavigable chasm
there will be days when nothing happens, where moving slowly is the best gift i can offer the world
what can i do today, to fan the smouldering flames of my curious nature
these are the things that persist :: the cat sleeping, my husband’s warm hands & loving care, the light moving through our small home
begin. again. begin again
even as i rest, one part of me remains defiantly restless
