Melody
What a day — family gathering, bright skies, air that feels like no air so lightly does it lie upon the skin, and, this morning, the picture-perfect docking of the SpaceX Dragon capsule with the International Space Station.
As I conclude another trip around the sun, I think about what lessons, if any, the past year has held. One big one is this — that we choose what to focus on, what to believe. So today I concentrate on the miracle happening above us rather than mess down here below.
As I write these words a breeze stirs the wind chimes. It’s the happy key of D Major. A melody of one year ending and another just begun.
