This is such a beautifully distilled meditation on presence — equal parts tender, observant, and quietly profound.
You’ve somehow captured the chaos and clarity of a single minute… and reminded us how much life actually lives in those passing seconds. Love, lasagna, raccoons, headlines, legacy, coffee, and the ever-elusive snuggle time — it’s all there.
And yes… your husband is right.
Sixty seconds is a long time.
Long enough to remember, to imagine, to ache, to give thanks… and to begin again.
Thank you very much, Matt. I'm so glad this piece made you smile, and I sincerely appreciate your thoughts and insights. This piece fell onto the page; those are my favorite moments as a writer. The struggle takes a back seat for a few minutes, and I'm confident the words will find their way. Reading your comments allowed for a lovely beginning to this day. 💖
