A quiet glimpse into a different way of living You wake up slowly No alarm No rush Just natural light coming through the window Your partner is beside you Still, peaceful There’s nowhere you need to be You get up gently The air feels fresh Cool Outside, everything is quiet You step into the garden There’s food growing Vegetables, herbs, things you’ve both been tending to You make coffee Or tea And sit together for a while No phones No urgency Just being Later, there’s small things to do Tending to the garden Feeding animals Creating something simple She or he makes candles You sit nearby, writing or reflecting There’s conversation There’s laughter There’s space At some point, you come back together physically Not rushed Not distracted Just connected The day moves slowly Naturally And as the evening comes You’re not exhausted You’re settled Calm At home Not just in the place But in yourselves Ian 🧡
