Love Lives Here.

Rain and inspiration. Both joined us on our morning walk.

Yesterday I sat in the garden for a good two hours. Just sat there and let it play out in front of me. I’d deliberately left my phone and any distractions back down at the house. The dog loved me being out with him, hurrying back to my side every so often to check I was still there, still watching. Until finally, he came and slumped down on the grass beside me, the warmth of his body against my bare leg just felt so wonderful. He seemed content and so I closed my eyes and set off on a twenty minute meditation. Following an illusive mantra that lead me into a deep and very real sense of calm. I cracked an eye open to glance at my watch, it had been 17 minutes, I sighed.

On opening my eyes again, the world seemed almost to be in technicolour, as if the life dial had been turned up to 11.

The calm I felt managed to infiltrate every matter on my mind, so much so that I couldn’t help but smile, things were clear. Things are clear.

What lies ahead is unknown. Now more than ever. So what is there to do but to remind oneself of what is known.

A child will arrive. We will do our best.
