A Different Sunday

C and K WordsLeave a comment

One Sunday afternoon
she left the washing and the cleaning alone,
for the day had changed.

Sipping sweet something
she hummed a tune and said, “Perhaps I will
do what he does for a day.”

When Sunday afternoon
became Sunday evening, her husband asked,
“Where is dinner, dear?”

She looked up and said, “I don’t know. I have
decided to do what you do today.”

This Land

C and K Words1 Comment

I contemplate rest and the feelings of a Sunday afternoon as the sun of a late Autumn day touches my skin.

From my favourite window, I sit at my desk watching the trees on the hill, the movements of an occasional cow, and the birds speaking in a foreign language.

With the accumulation of knowledge, humanity, and the experience of nature, there is a feeling of the “other” ancestors who are not my own.

This land is the land of spirituality and has a connection to many nations, yet she is losing herself to housing, commerce, and people.

I contemplate the passing afternoon with a sense of quiet, think about how I live, and realise I am becoming one of those people.
