Sitting in the Sun

Today I did something that I haven’t done in a long time. I sat in the sun on my narrow window seat and had a cup of tea. I looked out the window admiring sunlight on water droplets — droplets that just yesterday were patches of ice and snow.
On the window sill sat rolled up blinds, taken down for the winter. In the quiet, I could study the beauty of shapes and forms to be found in even the most mundane of objects.
It felt good … though I did have to take a moment to remind/convince myself that taking such moments is good for the body, the soul, the creative spirit and the career. 😉

” the submerged shafts of the sun, split like spun glass,
move themselves with spotlight swiftness into the crevices
— in and out, illuminating the turquoise sea ”

“A New and Sturdy World”

On this brisk, rainy morning, I rose and made a pot of coffee. I sat down at my kitchen table with Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. I randomly opened the small volume and my eyes fell on the following words.
“There is a muscular energy in sunlight … ”
She goes on to describe horsepower generated by the sun on earth and ends the paragraph with the following sentence that made me close the book, not wanting to read anymore until these words had fully sunk into my brain.
“These “horses” heave in every direction, like slaves building pyramids, and fashion, from the bottom up, a new and sturdy world.”
