{bedside}

a steady stream of life pulls to the now: suppers cooked, leaves raked, laundry done, children read, games played, meditations taken, candy eaten, jobs worked, cheers led, hot drinks sipped, cold drinks gulped, friends beckoned, family welcomed, 4h attended, chickens loved, fires tended, hair dyed, cat cuddled, dog skunked, art created, spirit called, birthdays celebrated, phones charged, computers used, treats had, alarms set, blankets piled, messes embraced, rules enforced, music made, babies held, evidence found, treasures noticed, actions chosen, minds shifted, prayers pleaded, silence requested, stars counted, moon sized, sun bathed, moments captured.
