The fifteen minutes after you sit down on the bench and before you remember to check the phone. The first sip of tea before you have decided what to do with the rest of the morning. The drive home after the long day, on the side road, when the radio is off and the children have stopped arguing in the back. None of it counts as productivity. All of it is what the rest of the day is paying for.
A pastel evening over still water in the South Pacific. The sky is going lilac and pink in bands. A coral outcrop in the foreground holds the last warm tone. The mountain in the distance is a silhouette by now. The light has another twenty minutes. You have nowhere to be.
Sits alongside The Art of Stillness by Pico Iyer, Tom Lake by Ann Patchett, or any book read with the lamp not yet on.
There are a few minutes after sunrise and a few before sunset when the sky stops being a sky and becomes a wash of colour. The light is no longer pointing at anything. The contrast disappears. The air seems to hold its breath. You are at the window with a coffee or at the edge of a beach with damp feet, and you do not move for a while, because you know how short these minutes are and how long the rest of the day is.
