In-Between – Friday’s Phlog for January 15, 2016

a winter’s day,

chills me to the bone,

watching my breath,

awakens my senses,

gives me clarity,

 confirms that life

is about

the in-between,

the time we spend,

in-between work and

commitments,

is what gives us life,

and fulfills our purpose.
