A Piglet Moment
There's a moment in the book “The House at Pooh Corner” that has always stayed with me:
Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
“Pooh!” he whispered.
“Yes, Piglet?”
“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. “I just wanted to be sure of you.”
The House at Pooh Corner, by A. A. Milne
I had one of those moments last night, and messaged a friend I've not spoken to for quite some time. This is where those that know me will start to shake their head, and smile at the contrariness of it all. I could swear the universe was up to something.
For the last several days – in the quietest moments – it was almost like a whisper on the wind. A calling to reach out. I don't understand it, and don't particularly want to pick it to pieces too much. Sometimes it doesn't do to reach behind the curtain – sometimes it's better to just admire the magic.
Anyway. That was all really.
We all have our Piglet moments sometimes.
After getting up this morning I wandered into the kitchen and was immediately confronted with a bargain of sorts. If I went to the corner shop to buy milk, my middle daughter would make me coffee and a bacon sandwich. While walking to the shop, I smiled to myself – realising that these are the stories I should write down – the stories I should remember.
