sunrise and free time
thoughts travel beyond this day
peace in this moment
Uncategorized
hawker stalls prepare
durian scents the evening
afternoon storms cleanse
early morning flight
aisle seat next to a stranger
conversation starts
Frosty air made me fumble the match and it tumbled into the pile of broken twigs I had piled beneath my *billy. Only one match remained in the box. With some trepidation I withdrew it and dragged it along the striker. Orange flame danced at the end of the splinter of wood and I touched it to my tinder pile. Sparks rose quickly in the thermal draft. Anticipation grew as I added coffee. Aroma lifted my spirits and I knew today would be my day.
*a billy is an Australian term for a kettle or tin used for brewing coffee or tea over a campfire.
