A fine ordinary moment, morning coffee

Dear fine moment... my first few sips of coffee,

You change my life. You hold a memory of all other days, alive with transitions from dreamy to present.

As the fog clears, starry-eyed, I begin to plan my day in a fine moment.

You witness me as my dreams come to mind, as I walk in the shadows of time becoming conscious.

And in the peace of my home before the storm, children sleeping, cats purring, sun rising, even though you don't last long, you help me realize...

That fine moments in life exist...

p.s. Red wine, you too have your moments.

Do you have every tool you can ever imagine, many because someone else said you should? Or do you only keep the tools you need?

Do you often go through your drawer to clear out broken parts, or clean up crumbs that may have gathered in there?

Do you sometimes rewash everything in the drawer? Do you make sure that you have no plastic? 

Now re-read all of those sentences in relation to your organization in your life, specifically your physical work space and your computer desktop and computer files.
