Morning · 3 min
Sunday slowness
A breakfast that lasts two hours, simply because it can.
Light the candle before you put the water on for coffee. Lemon peel against the smell of a brand-new morning.
Make something warm. Slowly. Butter melting before the eggs go in, bread toasting in a pan instead of a machine. The smell of breakfast and the smell of the candle will hold one conversation together.
Read something on paper. A poem from a slim book, a piece from an old magazine, anything that makes no mention of today.
The rest of the week begins only when the flame says so. Not before.
The candle for this moment
