tonight is enough

IMG_3640

Tonight the air was still, snow fell, the fire burned, and I felt utterly small and stupid in the narrow little cocoon of my life. Tonight the sum of all my efforts thus far are two boys who won’t shut up and a husband who has his own issues and a job I don’t (mostly) know how to do. The novel waits. The dreams wait. And already, I am half way through my life.

This breaks my heart.

This is all I have.

~All I Have - from a post by Christina at {MyTopography}


***

This is all I have.

Tonight.

This moment where my body still quivers from unbalanced yoga,

and my fingers type fast,

cheeks flushed with the remembrance that it is a Tuesday night,

and I am home with the one I love and that is enough.

Enough for today

And my mind is far away from doubts and disbelief.

Tonight I believe

And that too, is more than enough.
