saturday morning... coffee in hand.

And above all watch,

with glittering eyes the whole world around you

because the greatest secrets

are always hidden in the most unlikely places.

Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.

- Roald Dahl -

good morning...

saturday morning.

and i just wanted to write a word or two

and say hello,

with my cup of coffee in hand.


oh. there's so much i've been wanting to babble on about.

random thoughts. of this and that and this again.


i've wanted to write about gaylene.

and about secret garden parties.

i've wanted to write about wonderfully lazy sundays

swimming in the quarry, sleeping in the sun.

i've wanted to write about magical summer nights

and the lovely cécile

and about purgings. sifting thru the little things.

making room for the bigger things.

and sometimes we go thru purgings of the mind

and the heart

and not just dresser drawers.


and i still never told my story of paris

at the feet of lions and the wedding ring.


or of the beautiful anna netrebko with a pretty flower ring.


but maybe those are things i'll get caught up on yet.

or simply write about other precious moments as they come along

and come to life.


in a sweet way,

i like to think that every day holds and shares its precious moment.


and so i find myself with a smile with each new day

and the wonder of wondering.

because its the surprise of the unexpected,

the good unexpected moments

that i love best.


open arms. open eyes. and an open heart.

ready to simply embrace

life. and love.


and susan is on her way over for a few days...

a wonderful friend that i can embrace tomorrow night.

and that too leaves a smile on my face!


anyhow...

saturday morning.

and i just wanted to write a word or two

and say hello,

with my cup of coffee in hand.
