ruby tuesday

This moment.......this very moment my little brother (brave soul) is in a hospital room with his wife birthing their second baby. My mother and father are no doubt nearby, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new love of their life.

Craziness. Crazy love that can manifest a whole new soul into a body and then into the world.

Meanwhile, in the underbelly, his aunt is driving by the zoo, sunlight dancing, flashing through the treetops, flirting with her broken heart, inviting her to open up. And something about that interplay reminds her of Auckland in 2008. One Tree Hill in late summer, deep blue sea romancing her so completely she set all previous plans aside to......yes, we know that story.......and she wonders to herself if this is the way she goes. Is this her method of transportation? How about that?

At present, she is so distracted by the bright sun on her head, the waves rushing in to Lyall Bay, and the sleeping mountains curling themselves around her city like a great, comfortable cat that she is close to being convinced that her mode of transport is genius without any more thought of it. And that is how it is. A beautiful moment quiets the dialogue and she cannot help herself from getting up and dancing to it.
