Things I love. (13)

I love the moment when the power goes out in the middle of something that is of immense importance. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is like a scream from the world. In the immediate isolation comes the realization that whatever it was that you were doing was not really that important. Not so important to call the power company and get angry with your power supplier for something that is likely beyond their control. And then you can step outside. Relax. Walk.

  1. Or you can always light a bunch of candles, eat dinner as though you were in an expensive restaurant, and see your surroundings in a whole different way. I love power failures, too. So cozy. So cool.
