...take the moment

An unusually quiet 30 minutes this afternoon, whilst everyone was asleep and Cookie away in the office. I eagerly wait for time to get things done. But instead, in this time picked the remaining cosmos and chased the light around the kitchen. I’ve only just finished the chores I usually tell myself that needs doing straight away. They often don’t need doing in that exact moment ( the tidying, the folding, the drying, the replying to emails) and everything is just fine.

There’s always time to take that break.
