Lemon cheesecake and simple things.

There is far too much noise in the world. Layers of different buzzing and whirring from every direction vying for our attention and lifeforce.

Sometimes it seems you can slide into a different dimension where the noise stops, and you bask below it all in a calm, undistracted and clear way. A patch of fresh air below the pollution.

We feel what matters and drink in and savour the present moment. The sweetness of simple things.

Today it is cheesecake.

Lemon cheesecake and family dinner. Today it is getting down to my 2year old’s level on the floor and creating space for him to simply be. Without trying to teach him stuff, or instil habits or buzz and whir at him as the world does to me. It’s appreciating how my body vanquished that pustulant pimple on my chin, and its drinking miso soup whilst my husband talks talk he needs to talk. Its breathing. Its little boy farts and giggles and elbows in my soft bits under the doonahs, whispering little boy secrets and nonsense words. Its pipe-cleaner glasses and squishy hugs. Its doing the dishes with my husband. And debating and laughing at scrabble words whilst we drink tea and yawn.

Lemon cheesecake and simple things that fill you up with love and radiate it out of you like golden hour on a summertime Perth beach.

Things that make you feel you are home and exactly where you should be at this exact moment.

Nothing flashy, nothing fancy. But complete treasure moments.

What are your lemon cheesecake moments of simple beauty?
