Pictures paint
the moments
of this past weekend...
good, pleasant, filled with peace.
Like Forrest Gump
mile after mile....
I drive.
Driving back from
the farm
I chose the c.d. I have
been avoiding for 16 months....
the last time I heard
the music...
the words.
I haven't had the courage to listen to it since.
I knew the day I listened
to this
music.....
and had
perspective of
the past, the present the pending future....
without a deep sense of grief
this would be
a sign of healing.
I listened to the songs...
each one.
"Look at this man....
so filled with inspiration..."
These old songs
are beginning to sound like new ones.
Today was
good.
Changing leaves,
driving,
rocking, and
talking on the
phone.
Today was good.
Pink and orange setting sun....
happy dogs sleeping on the end of the couch...
an email from a friend who understands.
Today was good.

Wha a great thing to have a chance to consider one's perspective and to affirm that today was good.
