Ginger Bug in My Life

When I listen to Eric Saties his music,
everything else becomes quiet…
The rumble, the distractions, the shoulds,
they fall away.
And when I really listen,
every note stands on its own.
No harmony. No context. No need to impress.
Just there.
Complete.
Beautiful in its own way.
Just being.
Enough.
.
And that’s life for me,
but I am not one of those notes no more.
.
I look at you,
moving through your day,
tending the plants,
loving the dogs,
nurturing your ginger bug…
like each note.
In its own way
.
I appreciate you
and it changes nothing
