Today

Today I hear the sounds of hammers beating on the house that is erecting next door.  I hear the sound of a little girl playing house with her barbies, while she is supposed to be taking a nap.  I feel the warm sun that is streaming down over me through opened windows.  Today I taste the sweet taste of freshly brewed green tea.  I see a room full of mosaic mirrors that are in need of grout and smell the fresh paint that was sprayed on new frames the day before.  Today is a wonderfully simple day.
