The simple joys of the everyday

Somehow, routines, (when they're new, or new again,) are exiting. I mean, they get old real fast, but when they're new, and you feel like you've got a clean slate, that's a good feeling. Just the simple act of pouring tea from a yellow teakettle in a clean kitchen brings me joy. It makes me feel a sense of warmpth inside. Cozy winter nights by the fire, knowing you got your homework done just in time, John Klemmer playing in the background; Soundtrack to my winter homework nights. The simple act of putting a period to end a long essay gives off the same joy. A sense of acomplishment. So i've learned, respect now, appriciate and reflect later. Just enjoy the happiness of the current moment.

  • The wanderer

    The stone wall upon which he sits is crumbling, rough and moss covered, but it is home. 
    He stares up at the migrating geese, their honks loud and clear in the crisp air. 

  • Not ready

    When the world is dark, and the stars are out 

    My mind comes alive. 

    I drown alone in my thoughts with a smile on my face, 

    And let myself get lost, 

    Because I know I’ll be found. 

  • Ponderings

    I wonder what heaven looks like. I wonder this as an atheist. Is it space, sailing among stars? Is it merely a concept, eternally to be determined, determined by fate?
