small rituals

Sometimes I feel a restless longing to transcend the ordinary everydayness of life but that is because I have stopped living in the moment.
There really is something so satisfying about the small rituals of daily life.
Bread and butter, steaming tea.
The clatter of dishes, the hum of the lawnmower.
Silvery morning light and apricot evenings.
Plants growing leaf by tendril.
The sweetness of creating, the time to dream, the chance to change.
