A Moment of Inner Peace
Kicking back on the couch.
Flicking the little black lever on the side which allows your legs to flip up.
That slight push backwards with your feet that ensures maximum relaxation.
The house is quiet.
T.V is off.
Phone is in the bedroom.
And your lovely girlfriend has given you some time off by taking the ‘crazy’ kids on a playdate.
The silence is bliss.
Staring out of the window as the sun washes over the neighbouring houses.
Houses built on a hill with a view of the Waitakere Ranges in the distance.
Many trees and parks fill the land between here and there.
Sometimes you forget that you’re living in the city.
You allow your mind to wander.
To frolic in fantasy land.
Thinking of nothing and everything all at the same time.
It’s great to have such feelings from just staring out the window.
Taking a moment to yourself and enjoying that inner peace.
A deep breath in and an exhale out.
