The Minutiae Loom Large Today

“The small, precise or trivial details of something”

I’m slowly meandering to the end of studying – it’s just making sure to cross ts/dot is now. Consequently, today has finished with a slowing down and appreciation of the trivial things; the fleeting things…

I went on my walk midafternoon today, rather than the morning walks I generally take. The light is quite different… it seemed less harsh, somehow. I gathered a harvest of macadamia nuts – a whole pocket full!

I grew up calling them “Queensland nuts”, because… that’s what they are.

Sitting on the patio, I could bask in the afternoon sun – lighting up the world and making it golden.

…contemplating my feet.
My short, stubby feet, which are still strong and carry me where I need to go.

What else have I enjoyed today?
Watching a tiny boy running joyfully with a huge pink balloon in each hand.
Various insects busily going about their very important business, small but purposeful.
Sending off an email that brings me closer to finishing important things.
My winter clothes drying in the sun, ready to keep me cosy in the coming cold.

There are many moments in a day.
Hope you see the minutiae, and feel quietly uplifted ❤
