oh man

exhausted
but not from doing anything
looking for inspiration
in the little things
and finding it
in the in-between things
a book, a thank you, a smile

it's amazing how
if you just follow your nose
it takes you
slowly
where you need to go
if you close your eyes
and just trust
in the slow slow slow slow process
of unfolding
and enjoying
if you can just get used to
hurrying up and waiting
if you can just sit still long enough
to enjoy
an unplanned, unforeseen conversation
with another mother you never thought you'd come to know
the warmth will take you where you need to go
and back again
and you'll forget your 'to do' list
long enough
to slightly piss off
somebody else and their 'to do' list
but that's ok
because
in the end
the good karma will come back to them
and we'll all be happier for it.
