I had just gotten dressed and was preparing to go downstairs for toast and coffee when the power went out. Oops, there went my morning plan for breakfast and work. Feeling unhinged from the surprise disruption, I initiated a drive to the local farm stand where we bought coffee and some kind of scone. This helped considerably.
Sitting in the car watching the play of light on the flowers and vegetables outside, it suddenly occurred to me how beautiful it all was, and how I wouldn’t be having this midweek morning bliss if the power hadn’t gone out. Inconvenient as such things are, it’s hard to turn down unscheduled bliss.
The coffee wasn’t bad either.
