I don’t think I could have chosen a song to better suit the scene4. The river looks great this afternoon, much better than it often does. The bright sky is being reflected, and as I move out from under the freeway I look toward Southbank to see the sun, just hiding behind one of the deep clouds that are scattered around the sky. It giving the cloud a spectacular outer glow. Beams of sunlight can be seen descending on parts of south Brisbane and West End behind the lager office blocks and apartment buildings that now define the Southbank skyline and mostly obscure Mt Coot-tha.

We are damn lucky in this world - there is so much “other” stuff going on, but I often find myself looking up at the sun filtering through the leaves on an old gum, or just taking in the serenity (!) of the river and all its inhabitants floating past. I too get that pure, enviable joy within - it lifts up my heart and makes me feel as if life really is ever so precious and beautiful.

I guess it is love…

take it all in, feel every drop, sense everything as if it is for the first time

life is short - live it with your eyes open and your heart ready and never hold any regrets

A sudden rising and filling of our inner being with a “happiness” that momentarily overwhelms us…..it can put a smile on my face, cause me to laugh out loud, and even bring tears to my eyes.

It’s a personal experience that is difficult to adequately express to others because it can often have such an indescriminate or undifined origin. But we just enjoy it for what it is.

My husband is recouperating from surgery and relies on me for assistance and support. He handed me his socks this morning and I pulled them on his feet. I have done this twice a day for the past ten days, and this morning I was filled with a warmth and contentment as he wriggled his toes into his socks….a fleeting, but joyful feeling of life and love.
