Outside the window

Paris / February 17, 2022

Last night I received a message from a friend, reminding me to look at the moon. I said I would.

So, this morning as I walked into the kitchen when it was still dark outside, it is the first thing I saw. The full moon outside my window.

There was calm and quiet in the air, a fresh cool breeze entering through the window and distance from my thoughts.

I observed attentively as the clouds kept briefly covering the moon as they followed their path.

The silence in the air was replaced by the sound of boiling water inside the tea kettle. It felt loud.

The sky started changing from dark into light in front of my eyes.

I observed the moon going down, almost hiding behind the buildings nearby.

It was time for my first zoom meeting of today.

A warm tea in my hands, I keep this moment of connection and calm in my mind as I type because it makes me feel relaxed.

Have you seen the moon today or is it hiding in the sky?
