Right now
Right now I am:
:: sitting in a blue armchair in a cafe on the fourth floor of a building
:: looking through large windows toward old town with its church towers
:: drinking herb tea from a blue low ceramic cup
:: waiting for my husband to arrive to have dinner together
:: hoping he won’t get stuck in the traffic
:: worrying a bit that the wait might be long
:: seeing the cars tightly lined up and moving snail slowly on the street below
:: smiling at the sight of baby daffodils, a gift from a friend, peeking from a paper bag on a chair next to me
:: planning to continue reading a book called “Südamekool” (Heart School) - a gift from another friend
:: accepting getting a year older, not that it makes me happy as it did when I was a child
:: cheering to my mind that keeps learning
:: appreciating my healthy flexible body
:: feeling my sore muscles from waltzing yesterday
:: pushing aside any school thoughts, though they still find a way to return
:: watching the sun reflecting from the rooftops
:: listening to the mellow murmur of people
:: catching random words without context
:: wishing you, my dear readers, wonderful words to write and read to fill your soul
My dear hubby got stuck in the traffic. I drank several cups of tea, wrote my slice and read the book.
The following sentence (rough translation) spoke to my heart:
"Sometimes seemingly empty time, like waiting, turns out to be fulfilling."
