No longer mine.

Amazing.

That’s what I thought as I gazed at a beautiful aerial view of Maui on the television.

Yet, for the first time, I did not imagine myself THERE. I enjoyed the view while enjoying my coffee HERE. I did not gaze upon that beautiful scenery and wish I were somewhere else.

I was content.

Here.

Right, here.

Right, here, in the place where I had been so restless, of late.

I had been seeking to get somewhere.

Somewhere.

Drinking my coffee, gazing at those awesomely beautiful views, I realized I WAS already THERE.

With, Him.

Here.

Home.

Sharing a cup of coffee.

Marveling, with Him, over the works of His Hands.

Ah, said I, to Him.

Aha, said He, back to me.

Together, in silence, we enjoyed the quietness of the day.

No place, on earth, I would rather be.

Here.

Now.

Alive.

Living.

Alone, yet not.

Full, yet not.

Empty, yet not.

Longing, yet not.

Not.

Quite.

Yet.

Waiting.

Still.

Still, waiting.

Waiting, still.

Ah.

Aha!

living in the moment,

Cassandra
