Glimmers - those tiny moments in each day that bring joy, peace, happiness or gratitude.
Moments frozen in time and space that sometimes seem to last forever but are less than a heartbeat.
The first conscious breath in the morning, filling my lungs and being thankful for the life I live.
The joyful glimpse of sunlight on the curtains promising a beautiful day.
The smell of my morning cup of coffee anticipating with a smile the first luxurious sip as I snuggle back under the duvet for a while feeling at peace.
The crunch of buttery toast salty and warm exciting the taste buds.
The sound of the sea as the waves ebb and flow across the sand of the beach.
The bubbling of the brook across the pebbles under the bridge as I stand admiring the beauty of the land.
The soft tapping of rain on the window soothing it calms my racing brain.
The laughter of my grandchildren; their presence a reminder of when my own children were small but life was too hurried to appreciate their innocence and growing. A love revisited and felt all over again.
The first brush stroke on the canvas a new painting begun an expression of colour and light unfurling.
The first word of a poem on the page a signal to the subconscious; I don’t know where this journey will end.
A liquid gold sunset fading into peach and lilac across the hills.
The glimmers : the unexplained small miracles; the moments of magic that leave me feeling at one with my world.
