“The song of the wind softened, gentled. Behind the violence of the birthing of galaxies and stars and planets came a quiet and tender melody, a gentle love song. All the raging of creation, the continuing hydrogen explosions on the countless suns, the heaving of planetary bodies, all was enfolded in a patient, waiting love.”
-Madeleine L’Engle

At 3am I feel these words spilling out,
Soft moonlight on the newly fallen snow.
I notice these moments with you, they do not fly by. Lingering in them, I feel the sweetness.
Stitched together time, a history together.
Little big moments of a life shared.
There are many riches: the fire in the hearth, your warmth and sincerity, the kindnesses each day, music, books, Little Bear, watching the snow fall, the leaves turn, the summer unfold, the new earth awaken in spring, feeling you with me, loving you.
This is our life, savored and noticed. I am overwhelmed by the beauty of our days together…
