Somehow each person in my family had somewhere to go or be today except myself. There can be a tension that comes with such closeness, and as I'm used to living alone I welcome the peace of an empty house.
I collected a handful of currents that hung over our fence from the neighbor's garden to brighten my lunch, then took myself out for a walk. My parents live in a farming village in southern Germany and there is always some little goat, hen, or cow so say hello to. I usually wander off a bit too far and find myself lost among countless identical fields, however i'm slowly learning my way around.
It was a quiet day, and for that,
I'm thankful.
