"I'm just going to write because I can't help it."- Charlotte Brontë

Pause

Today was a wonderfully quiet and peaceful day full of the (for me) good things in life - popping out for coffee/tea and a chat, then lots of writing, reading, sitting in the garden on the Xmas swing with cups of peppermint tea pondering existence and patting any cat that came by for a smooch.

"There exists only the present instant... a Now which always and without end is itself new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand years hence."
-Meister Eckhart
(who also said "The more we have the less we own.")

P.S. - my 9000 words long SF story ended up as a 5200 words short SF story. Hopefully the editors (or just one will do) will love it now.
