Week 67: In this beautiful day!
i’ve been adding color to Soak in & a stream write derived from its imagery.
SOAK
Soak my body in the peace of a hot bath on a cool early summer day with the old hinged window open, the fragrant mock orange sent riding the currents of air up my nose entering my mind it carries me to sweet memories until…
a jarring sound pulls me from the reflection, a barking dog who’s been practicing a great deal, i suppose aiming to get to Carnegie Hall. maybe i’ll suggest a different voice instructor.
i’ve taken to playfully teasing my neighbor as they seem without a way of curbing its excessive vocalizing, despite the irritation they must know it causes many near dwellers. When all else fails try humor, or maybe why wait until all else fails, just engage a playful approach.
Maybe i should add bubbles to the bath that would be playful and luxurious way to soak.
Later more stream arrived…
Finding my way through a “beautiful thicket” i stop rushing and notice the abundance of delight at the edge of a field, ant mounds, wild iris, anemones, especially the buttercups, happy faces turned to the sky and so many birds inviting my flight. i can easily imagine soaring out that window after this delicious soak.
What could you soak in?
Haven Habits 1 is more than halfway through. Haven Habits 2 coming soon.
Have a great week! Thank you!
