Imagine for a brief moment that time stood still. The birds gorging themselves on grains and sunflower seeds seemingly suspended in flight, giving room for the next…This moment, as the rays of the setting sun illuminates the entire kitchen as you sip quietly on your evening tea. The households felines watching patiently, with a flick of their tail, as if they could spring into action at the birds outside. Knowing full well there is a double paned window keeping these four-legged want-to-be hunters in perpetual check.

This is what I would call a ‘sunshinier day’. Even if it lasts a mere moment or two. My day filled with so many things to do, so many thoughts, and worries. What keeps me in check? What makes a whisper of a smile to creep across my face? Fleeting moments like these? I desperately want them to linger longer than a brief moment. They will have to do though, for now.
