right now, it's perfect


late yesterday afternoon, the sun warm. i took my book, my sunhat and sat out on the back deck. instead of reading, i leaned back and looked up into the trees. the new leaves on the birch crisp and lime green.
i turn 60 on sunday. there has been alot of reflecting around this birthday. i do feel it's the beginning of a new stage. but yesterday, at that moment all i could think of was "right now this is perfect". that's all i need. that's all there is. the rest sorts itself out.

I drop in periodically and have noticed a calmer style of writing...It seems to be more YOU. Like sharing the books you are reading and the skeins inspired by them...
I believe it is a reflection of what you are saying. As everything we do reflects who we are at a time.
Happiest of Birthdays to you and a wonderful year ahead.
