Today
I awake to the fall sun
warmth where sheltered
and the dog and I just walk
along the beach
savouring time and silence
time to simply be adrift in our thoughts
and I don’t pretend to wonder what his might be…
I work out, come home, cook
enjoy the simple things
clean my aquariums
marvel at babies, shrimp and new baby plants
then pack my to-go cup and
out we go again into this brilliant fall
with it’s weak but still warm sun
and no breeze
wander through the village
buy tea and simply sit
One handed reading journal articles,
the other giving the dog a head massage
waiting for a friend
….our dogs get along to our delight and wander off again
talking of everything from patients to squirrels the dogs can’t tear themselves away from
then hours later
thoroughly exhausted come home
to look up the chiton shell found on the beach
and barely move
streched out on the bed
content and bone tired.
Recharged, life in kilter…
an easy day when you rest your weary soul.
