A body at rest

Well, well, well.

Deep subject.

Kate comes home today. She will meet Cindy and myself in Dunwoody. She won't be able to leave Clinton until after 3:00. So I guess we will see her around 6:30. If she makes it through the traffic.

Last night Cindy and I watched several movies and ate a supper of soup and salad in the living room. With everyone gone and the dog sleeping in a chair by himself, we rested from the day in the living room of our house. The last hour or two, Cindy lay down next to me and rested her head in my lap as I stroked her head. After all the fuss and mess of the last week, it was rather sweet for the two of us to sit in that posture for several hours.

There are moments in marriage when the peace and unity and solitude of the couple reach a moment of sublimity. Perhaps that is the ultimate reward of this sweet institution.

There are many times of stress where the weight of the day and the week and the circumstances can cause us to hiss and spit like two cats. But the end of the day can still show the beauty of the connection. And those moments are not so few and far between that we have to strain to remember them.

Thank God.
