reflection

i've been busy but at the same time i've had the most wonderful 2 weeks
full of inner peace
rolling with the punches, living a truly carefree life

enjoying someone's spectacular birth; wondering how she figured it all out; talking about God with a 4yo; spending an afternoon in a playdate; enjoying the thumping of music and the cold run to the car; enjoying the anticipation of a special someone; running around in a yard and discovering a mudslide on a chilly afternoon; having a good laugh with my mom; learning that the body is a miraculous healer; opening my heart to a whimsical moment; enjoying the company of friends over too much food and drink; laughing about childish things; falling asleep and having incomprehensible dreams; reading about a peaceful warrior and a monk who sold his ferrari; cherishing meals with a dear friend i'll soon terribly miss
in years' past, i would have simply checked things off methodically
spent the 2 weeks like any other 2 weeks
and simply not noticed all the wonderful ordinary miracles
it's been a good 2 weeks.
