Day 8
Today the sun is shining. For the first time in a long time I went outside and sat in the glow.

There are many trees in my neighborhood, and the rustle of leaves mixed with the happy chirps of birds reveling in the soft earth.

I walked to the small church just a few blocks away, and interrupted a congregation of deer next to the parking lot. We stared at each other for a long moment, before one particularly clique-ish soul decided I wasn’t worth the time, and led the others in jumping away through the shrub. It made me laugh.

My own soul is so impatient today. It took all the sunshine and shading trees and singing birds and religious deer to stop me from longing for time to speed up, to get me to enjoy the moment that is today.

Let’s hope it lasts.

Love, February
