I love this poem because it reminds me not to overthink those fleeting, precious moments. To just be in them when they occur and let them go. It's a bittersweet poem for me. Thanks for sharing it here, Trivarna.

I'm at a place (and I work hard not to regress!) where the mundane is truly the sublime. The little things are precious moments, the everyday, joy.

Ah, such a lovely, sunny post! On the topic of being reminded of laughter with friends, I would recommend Arundhathi Subramaniam‘s poetry, especially from the collection Love Without a Story.
