falling white sweet-scented cherry blossoms
wind whipping my hair around my face and rushing against my skin so fast it feels like i can feel nothing and everything simultaneously.
the smell of clothes that have dried stiff in the sun on clotheslines
a cat on my belly in the night absorbing what heat i have left to give, until there is none remaining and he gives it back.
staring at a vividly blue sky so long that colours desaturate in my eyes and i feel i've traveled back in time 40 years.
hearing songs that i know the words to so well that i begin to hear the real meaning when i turn their story into mine. nostalgia in a note.
making a 9 year old boy blush. hearing his dad high-five him after i walk away
watching shadows and light rush by in dappled sunlight on a country road.
knowing there's no where else, no one else better to be in a moment that's now.
P.S. happy 63rd anniversary Grandma & Grandpa. I hope to live at least as long as you've been married.
hugs and kisses xox
