A Pause

Yesterday was a flying about kind of day, hurrying from one place to another, waving arms frantically at buses that didn't stop, shoving brownies into the oven and hoping they would cook more quickly than the recipe said. But then I arrived early for a tutorial. I walked towards open space, where the low early-afternoon sun was buttering the sky golden behind the trees. I looked at the frost on the grass and leaves and paused.
