How does one live a full life?
The spaces of home can feel empty,
when plans have gone awry,
the fullness flown away,
as deflated as a party balloon
energy sapped.
But joy has only hidden for a moment.
When the quietness of the day
offers a notebook to write upon
a sock monkey to make
a fresh salad to enjoy
a nap to slip into
music to colour the quietness
How does one live a full life?
Grasp what is present
Sense it, lean into it and just relax!
“How we spend our days is of course, how we spend our lives.”
~ Annie Dillard
