Randomness....
...and I rushed up to have this conversation with all of you...
Still afternoons, always my favourite do this to me...
The conservatory is flushed with warm sunlight and the book in my lap {A Suitable Boy (!!)-why are the ones we fall in love with always unsuitable (?!!)} curls around me in wispy fragrances of remembered long-lost moments...I'm drinking my umpteenth cup of fragrant Earl Grey..and the stillness is a deja vu` of my childhood afternoons in Kisumu with Lake Victoria shimmery in the lost distance with sparkly tears....
The house is quiet and upstairs my son is lost in his own lil world and dreams (i hope) with a lil bit of this and a lil bit of that as thoughts tap dance to the breath of a meandering breeze, now kissing the wild flower 0x-eye daisies in the garden, mingling with the fresh fragrance of mown lawn...
The universe seems concentrated in this one moment, in this stillness when the past, present and future lock seamlessly together in a moist kiss of drizzling rain and childhood is but today and death but an end of a dreamt yesterday...
Life is but a glutton of moments bursting with pleasure and pain and pleasurable pain..enriching and thirsting all at once and perched on the edge, I am greedy for more....
...never-ending conversations-of this sort-with the core-kind of more....

what amazingly wonderful imagery derived from your words!! this is beautiful!!! i've had moments like this but could have never described them as lovely as you did. you made this moment come alive.
this reads like some kind of stream of consciousness thing. it's so fluid and natural and raw. woooow!
why are the ones we fall in love with always unsuitable (?!!)}
...yes, its crazy but sometimes i think its perhaps because at some level we don't want that happiness and that is why we choose the 'unsuitable', or maybe its just about meeting the right person in the wrong circumstances.
loved the way you have written this piece!
The mental and physical experiences you let us feel all seemed to have their common point of origin in the fact that they were sensually experiencial.
I can smell the lawn, it's a lovely feeling of racing thoughts of happiness as a moment just for you
'The universe seems concentrated in this one moment, in this stillness when the past, present and future lock seamlessly together in a moist kiss of drizzling rain and childhood...'
I thought of this as a defining moment, when everything in your life, all the people and events, blend into one picture. What would it look like?
You have captured it here.
very well written. love the images, the emotion, the nostalgia.
loved this little piece...the quiet manner in which it captured a whole gamut of emotions...almost reads like an excerpt from some novel you read and loved but now is only a whiff of nostalgia, a forgotten fragment of memory...
I love the setting. Beautiful prose.

Dreamy - makes me think of lazy Sunday mornings and holidays :-)
Sigh...
Lovely! And so was the Dance, and mischief!
Life in its many shades captured in all of them...
that was something else. almost organic and flowing somehow and graceful too. elegantly fluid with huge droplets of emotion. such a vivid set of images. the bits i love are . . .
