In amongst all of the crushing darkness, pain, ache and unbearable, unending sadness and anger -
Today I had a moment of light that I would like to share with you.
I went for a walk in a wood we never went to together.
I felt calm enough to tune in to the wood sounds.
I listened to the wind in the trees.
Some light rain on the leaves.
The different birds.
The sound my feet made scuffing up leaves.
I sat on a conveniently placed bench, closed my eyes and just for a moment everything was ok.
A quiet noise made me open my eyes.
A robin was sat there on a fence watching me.
He cocked his head to me and sang to me.
We had a little chat, he bobbed at me and flew off into the bushes.
I had a “good” cry until a dog bounded up saying hello.
The owner came up, an elderly gentleman.
He said “it gets you unawares doesn’t it. Be kind to yourself”.
He must have heard me and waited till I’d finished before he approached.
I wanted to share this moment of lightness in the bleakness.
I'd welcome anyone else’s moments
