Smirks
I stood at work staring out at a fixture today. Trying to get finished with a last minute project. I only had twenty minutes to finish it. Yet even in the midst of all the urgency I still had the frozen minutes that slid across my sightline. Just those few seconds that vaporated into a whirlwind of scurrying.
Truly a brief moment where I felt very aware of what was soaking into my mind. The rapid questions I had the night before that even made laughter bubble from within me. The absolute explosion of wonder.
And then I had to rush all outside of me. The need to hurry just so that a sit down can happen. Of course it did. But what was the whole reason in the first place. I began to think over all that was found and explored. Life was just beautiful in the moment when my prayer took hold.
The decent settling was that I felt so vibrant from the laughter and the questions that researching was just as smirk worthy. And as the day came to a close at work, I was ever grateful of the time I got when I sat in my car. Even the drive home. Watching the haze of humidity and dew cast beauty across the fields of corn and soybeans.
Then the light fading into reds and oranges across the sky. Stunning to watch the sun go away and allow the moon to rise and display beauty. A bit of kindness from Jehovah when that happens. Invites my lips to curve in yet another smile. Even the baby blues sprinkle into deep violets from the joy bouncing inside my spirit.
And as now the yesterday fell into the tomorrow making today. Looking up I notice that I cannot have too much fun in a day. So that is why a speech is lessened in hours and given over to the next new day.
So I can only do what I know is best. Taking all that weighs upon me and placing it in Jehovah's hands. Leaning into his warmth and finding my calm once more. All in hopes that a new day surprises me even more, with more questions. All that so I can learn more.
So I say a silent good night into the air and hope that all are safe. Continuing to be happy for the tiny details of kindness. A slight smirk sits upon rosy lips and I fall into a daze. Soon sleep will arrive.
Then the unbroken day will begin. How will yours open wide?
