Sunday Morning
How many times have you noticed that it’s the little quiet moments in the midst of life that seem to give the rest extra-special meaning.
— Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers

Lightly Child, Lightly.
And I also know a way of life that is soft pride, grace of movement, light and continuous frustration, that has a skill at aloofness that comes from a long and ancient path. Like a tiny sign of revolt an irony light and eccentric. There’s a side of life that’s like drinking coffee on a terrace in winter cold bundled up in wool.
I know a way of life that’s a light shadow unfurled to the wind and flapping lightly on the ground: a life that’s floating shadow, levitation and dreams in broad daylight: I live the richness of the earth.
— Clarice Lispector, tr. by Elizabeth Lowe, “The Stream of Life” (Água Viva)

Tuesday Morning Wake-Up Call
Perhaps what eternal recurrence means is not that our life will actually repeat itself forever, but rather that we should not rest content until we have reached a point where we love it enough just as it is, to wish it were indeed so. Play it again, I say.
— Helen Morrison, (Katie Holmes), Coda (2019)

Lightly Child, Lightly.
Dissolve.
A moment of quiet.
The dust settles.
