Have you ever heard
the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a
storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven't the answer to a
question you've been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the
expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak,
or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you're alone in
the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you
listen carefully. [Norton Juster, The Phantom
Tollbooth]
There are many sorts of Quiet. I’m making a study of this.
It requires a lot of listening to really know The Quiet. I’m remarkably good at
this I’ve discovered.
Time is a gift, given
to you, given to give you the time you need, the time you need to have the time
of your life. [Norton Juster, The Phantom
Tollbooth]
I’ve wondered at this business, Time, and having Enough of
it. I think I’ve learnt there’s always been and always is and always will BE
Enough. I canNOT sort it out to adequately explain HOW it works, but I know it
does and has and will.
Life is curiously imperfect and BEautimous, y’know?! It really is.
I love you, Currie

I agree with everything Carol said.
Most of the time we don't even live in the moment we are actually alive and our minds are always living in a projected future or memories of the past. Silly humans we are, eh? Silly humans. Life is fully what it is right this very second. Precious. Flawed. Beautiful. So glad you have shared that reminder with us. *love and hugs*
