Evening’s gift, a simple pause to be:
“I could stand here all night and just look at the sky with you. But I have to get back to my delivery”, my deliverer driver said tonight. She was Italian and her name meant Joy in that musical language. Her family works down the hill, I know them well.
I said ,”Why don’t we just pause in thanks for life together for a second.”
And we did.
She could’ve stayed there forever. She needed it more than me today. Sometimes, just the invitation to pause and be, is all we need.
Sometimes, it’s just healthy to share a pause with one another, in simple thanks before an evening sky. Here we are together in this instant, alive. What a nice evening gift.
Nice to have a moment of pause with a daughter, just staring up at the sky for a moment, which felt like hours, and seemed to extend the eventing into eternity, where all our forever names dwell.
