I usually write about ideas. This morning I awoke before five and read the newspaper. When I was done, I went back to bed and cuddled with my lover. No words were exchanged and nothing else happened except that the two of us lay there intertwined enjoying the closeness. I thought about the pleasure and comfort of physical touch and shared warmth. I think that sometimes I am so busy with my thoughts that I miss the little moments like this and fail to appreciate them. Fortunately I was in the moment this morning and was glad to be there.
