Readings;
My lipstick is cracked from smiling at E's baby all afternoon. I've never known a baby from pregnancy to birth and I still can't believe this real little creature lying in my lap. A little person that has so much life to live yet.
Reminds me I have so much life to live yet.
Readings is full, kids everywhere. I scan the books quietly, taking them out and putting them back, enjoying the moment and the feeling. The not knowing - which normally terrifies me, and has done so for good reason this year. Maybe I'm getting smarter, or braver.
Earlier I sat outside the library in the sun, listening to Ceres and thinking about all the complex things all the people around me must be contending with. The year has not been easy. I wonder how much harder it will get - or maybe the worst is over.
My phone lights up with messages from people that I love. Every time it does that I thank the universe.
