Ahhh, the Golden Moments of life. They’re often fleeting, deeply felt, joyous snippets of time that are extra special because we know they’ll never happen quite the same way again. My most brilliant moments of the day happened early this morning. While many lay slumbering another Sunday morning away, I (being the parent of a three year old) arose early and went for a run with members of The Family. It felt good to stretch my legs and warm up in the autumn air. We ran towards the sea, little Kahu on his wee BMX bike and Maia the Golden Retriever pulling at the lead because she loves to run like a cheetah. I had energy to burn, so we went further than ever. Before long we found ourselves traveling along an unsealed road side track, one that was obviously very lovingly maintained. We’d hit Rototai. And we were on a community project – a path-way that was surrounded in a mixture of edible plants and fruit producing trees, and artwork. A rainbow coloured sign read ‘Help yourself to the food and pull a few weeds on your way through’ or something along those lines. The closer I looked, the more food I noticed – parsley had been planted in the cracks of the concrete gravel path, cabbages sat fat alongside a sheep fence. Apple trees were lovingly supported. Lavender bushes speckled the track side. Three seats had been placed alongside the path, inviting one to sit and watch the sheep graze in a lush green paddock, behind which the hills rolled green and hazy. Kahu sat beside me watching the sheep and rubbing my back absent mindedly (which I quietly loved).
“I’ll miss the sheep” he said when we got up to leave.
“We’ll come back tomorrow”, I said as my Golden Cheetah pointed herself toward home.
