Dunno if it’s turning 40 that’s done it, but I’m really hankering to slow life down at the moment. I’m not savouring the taste of things, I’m stressed about dates and deadlines. I watch the clock and measure out what can be achieved in the time. There’s always such a lot that could be done and I’m always striving to achieve it (knowing I won’t).
I read this, this morning from this book…
I wish that life should not be cheap, but sacred,
I wish the days to be as centuries, loaded, fragrant.
Ralph. W. Emerson
And that’s what we’ve tried to achieve today. Both literally in harvesting the fragrant lavender for future craft projects, but metaphorically too by savouring each other’s sacred company, creating alongside each other, cooking and eating together and slowing the day right down so that it has been a century long day. Hope your Sunday has been a day worth having too.
