Still Life
A spring day sparkle of sky, a sweet breeze and cherry trees in bloom. Perfect for a quick run and visiting with old friends over coffee.
But no. He’s still sitting there in his pajamas, pretending to read a book. Still resentful. Still bitter. Still waiting for her to apologize.
Better to be sweet than bitter, take some sugar with that coffee.
People waste many of the beautiful days of their lives focusing on petty disagreements. Better to take a walk together in silence and let the Spring breeze work it's magic.
