From Arita: The Right Time


When I was all caught up in the happy move into our present house, I was unpacking, placing and arranging things from the previous rental, things from our home in Nashville and things from my dad's place that he had just given me. I love moving, and I was getting to play with all my favorite things in a new favorite space. I was in my bliss.

Somewhere in the middle of it all, I unpacked a wall clock that had the batteries taped to the back. I pulled off the batteries and popped them in. I looked at my cell phone for the time and turned the clock around to adjust it. The clock was already precisely accurate to the minute.

I suppose it was the right time for me to rendezvous with that clock.
Shivers.
