Life can sometimes be all-consuming in it's hectic pace. And then sometimes not. Today I found myself in the grassy field across the street from our house with the girls all playing happily at their works. Georgia and Maya in the sand from the baseball diamond, and Teresa checking out the grass on her toes, and I realized that my attention was not needed by anyone for that moment. And the weather was gorgeous, by the way. So I just lay down right where I was and was totally relaxed and in the moment looking at the very blue sky and the jet flying by way up high, birds and bright yellow leaves swirling through my field of vision. It was delightful. The sun was warm on my shoulder and the grss was soft underneath me. It felt like a big hug from the earth. The peace lasted about ten seconds. Then I had to break up a fight and keep Teresa from eating the grass, and then the kids wanted to go back inside. So that was it. But what a wonderful ten seconds. Really.
