Have you ever had a moment - a split second - perhaps when you are performing the most mundane or trivial of tasks., when you could imagine your life completely differently - and yet you would end up doing this exact same mundane task? It happens to me from time to time...
I could be in the kitchen putting chicken into the oven to cook and in that instant I know exactly what it would be like to performing that exact same task with you and our children just beyond the doorway... I can hear the voices. I can smell the scents. I know to my bones exactly what it would be like and to feel how right it would be for me...
I could be sitting on the couch at the end of the day and I can imagine what it would be like for your head to fall into my lap as you stretch out. I know that I would bend for a quick kiss and my hand would reach for some small patch of your skin to touch. We would talk of our day and we would range over topics that we cannot predict. Your voice in my ear, and seeing you relax - your face turned toward me and your beauty shining a light straight through to my heart... Oh I know it...
These moments hit me every once in a while - and if I could somehow step through some window or doorway...I can imagine us.
Just me.
