I watched the sunset tonight. I was outside, breathing wonderful, humid, air. I drove in a car today. The world seems so busy, everyone with an agenda, rushing by, busy to go somewhere. Most unaware of the moment because it melts into all the other moments in the chorus of a day.
After nearly two weeks in the hospital the sunset was gloriously beautiful, not to be taken for granted but to be savored. I am free of the tube in my side, free of my IV line dripping relief for my pain, free of the confines of four walls, free of watching the world go by from the view of my ninth story window. I am free to live in the moment, knowing that I am safe, I am healthy (relatively speaking), I am at peace.
