Highlights: What's not a highlight? In a day spent helping an aging parent, working to improve my son's connections with her and I, returning home after fragmented time away, or the sudden comfort our dogs exude at the reunion of those whom feed them. All is at peace for the moment. Knowing it is, as is any moment, temporary, I take solace in being as fully present as possible. Looking at her. Having this life. Facing a loss, one of what will certainly be compounding over the years ahead. I've know this for years. Decades, even. Just like the hammock on Loma , or the Patio at 1821, it's all now when I detach from the concept of time. It's all the present moment of a lifetime. Or am I just high?
