the sunlight that enters my room at this moment is splintered into various fragmentations, disrupted by the slant of the window blinds and the tree leaves outside. for a moment i imagine i’m under the sea, looking upwards at the undulating waves that fracture the sunlight the same way – have you ever done that? ever lie down on the floor of a swimming pool and look upwards at a blurred reality?
i’m also currently drinking a slightly bitter and highly caffeinated latte from hotcakes, complimented by a free pumpkin muffin that perfectly balances the bitterness of my drink with its own faint sweetness.
these days i’m learning to appreciate… frivolity. things that aren’t so important, things that don’t take up much time, things that don’t mean anything to anyone else. i realize this because… in the end they do count, more than anything else, actually. what’s the stuff that creates memories anyway?
these days i have sluggish tendencies and a lurking desire to go under my covers and sleep. but then i remember the cruelty of time and how quickly it slips from my fingers. so instead i’ll make the most of most opportunities and pick myself up again and again. finish strong.
the sun will no more be your light by day,
nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.
Your sun will never set again,
and your moon will wane no more;
the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and your days of sorrow will end.isaiah 60:19-20
I am also suffering from the sluggish tendencies and lurking desire to go into my bed and sleep the day away. It must be “senioritis” or the nice weather… probably a combination of the two.
how beautifully written, miss lynn alicia teng
