It comes the moment you wake up. Voices rushing at you like wild animals. The first job consists in shoving them all back; in listening to the other voice, letting the stronger, quieter life come flowing in. Standing back from the natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind. C.S. Lewis

Love animals, love plants, love every object. If you love each object you will perceive the mystery of all things. Once you’ve perceived it, you’ll begin to be more conscious of it with each day that passes. At last you will love the whole world with an all-inclusive, universal love. -Dostoyevsky

mornden n. the self-contained pajama universe shared by two people on a long weekend morning, withdrawing from the world and letting the hours slow to a crawl, coming as close as they’ll ever get to pausing the flow of time, even as they know it’ll eventually rush back in all the faster.

LIFE part 3 The promise of sun-scaped beaches. Rhythmic waves disappearing at sea's edge. Being served endless Irish Whiskeys. But too often life comes with torrential rains shoving me down a failing mountain. Meanwhile an irritating in-law tells me I never should have tried to climb the mountain.
