Slip, slop, and what can we do. Maybe I am not going to be an athlete of any particular note but this morning I struggled so in my little game, my usual little game in which I am usually able to give my partner a good game. Slip, sloppy, not today. And then the rest of the day slipped by in the same way. Another day is nothing.
Saying goodbye can be such a simple thing, but it can be a delicious thing too. Taking a little time to go to the train station, or to the airport. Walking with the person for a while, waiting while they book in. Perhaps having the time for a conversation and a cup of coffee, perhaps just the time for a conversation about nothing of consequence. Before the goodbye. Then watching them go and the slight emptiness and lightness as you walk away from the station, walk back to normal life, normality.
