On this Sunday Morning, I think not of the back-to-school meetings that have passed, of the 30 or so reviews for my book Cold Rock that are now trickling in, of the passing anniversaries of my father’s birthday or his marriage to my mother 62 years ago, of the many meetings with students and parents and teachers that have focused on all the right things in this early school season, of my younger daughter’s first days in preschool and her first practices in soccer, of my love for autumn.
I think not of any of those things.
I think of This Sunday Morning. The possibility of love and of life suspended in each drop of dew that droops from tired Black-Eyed Susans and Butterfly Bushes outside my window. The magic of the many micro-moments that make up this single passing second, this moment, this chance to smile and to listen and to cherish simply what is.
This Sunday Morning. This Sunday Moment.
It is good to be back here.
In this Moment.
With all of you.

Beautiful post. I love Sundays because inevitably at some point during the day I hear the neighbor across the street practicing/playing the piano and it always makes me stop and listen; stop and be..in.the.moment.

I assume you mean his marriage to your mother, not your wife? I’m confused.

Yikes….indeed, Carl, you are correct. Thanks for that necessary nudge to edit this post!

No problem, I myself make similar errors and always think they are too funny to not point out.
Or maybe there was something weird going on here that I just didn’t know about! 😉

LOL @ Carl’s comment. I love reading an entry and then finding the comments are just as interesting 🙂
Glad to see you back, Rus!

Since I am married to an English junkie, he often edits my posts, after I have written them, of course.
Should he need me to do something for him, I notice he keeps his thoughts to himself! LOL!
