Yesterday, we forgot everything, though we didn’t know it until today. We missed not one, but two birthday parties.
In my head, they were today.
We had planned this weekend away. But then today appeared, with all its nothingness, which was supposed to be all wrapped up in somethingness.
So we played Magic in our pajamas. We hiked and we went on walks. We introduced our new dog to an old friend, and she snuggled into a new one too.
We wrapped up the day eating stir-fry and drawing dragons. Not complex ones that called for long forgotten attention. We searched for simple dragons, we found our reference, and we drew, snuggled underneath a pile of blankets and a day that appeared before us like a gift.
Sometimes, the mistakes we make are presents. I need to remember that.
So, here is today’s dragon: Simplicity.
