Pleasure in Slow Things

A short poem for slow moments

9 Am workout under the sun

reading a book

a look at the night sky

savoring that last piece of your meal

watching the sunset

floating on the sea, at the beach, taking in the sun, mind empty of worries

meditation

feeling the warmth spread to your limbs as you stretch

writing thoughts down on paper

an afternoon at the library

feeding a baby

getting that last hug before goodbye

slowly grasping new concepts

woodwork

midnight laughs with friends

walking

seeing your kid open their eyes for the first time
