A Day in Ordinary Time

7/7/2011

 
Picture
I want to remember you this day

How you love to run circles under the sprays of water in the fountain

Not really getting wet.

And when you finally let your face feel the cool water,
You came running back to get your towel once...twice...three times at least

Picture
I want to remember how every time I got less present with you in this moment whether deep in thought or writing.

You thought you heard me call you using my voice when it was actually my spirit calling

reminding me to stay with you right here

Picture



I want to remember how your little booty

hung out of your shorts as you looked for

some new friends to play in the water with.

Picture


And when you saw me with the camera

You wanted to pose

and show me what you had found

Picture
I want to remember your velvety soft curly hair

and your smile

and your laugh

Picture
And the time you snuggled in underneath my arm.

We just sat on this bench swing
allowing your clothes to dry


laughing at the dog running through the fountain with his people

I want to remember all of this day


Just the two of us being together on this day in ordinary time

This post was inspired by a prompt from the most excellent and HIGHLY recommended book Inner Excavation by the beautiful Liz Lamoreux. 

She says this prompt is "...about taking your camera with you on your day-to-day moments and capturing what it is to be in your corner of the world."

I had the pleasure of doing a virtual workshop with her during the wishBIG camp which inspired my 'I AM' video poem. 

If you are lucky enough to live near her please do your spirit a favor and attend one of her retreats or purchase the book which is just chalked full of goodness!
