Bask

Bask in the warmth of the summer sun. When your friend finishes college after twenty years, bask in the glow of her joy. Take off your clthes, and bask in the moonlight. When your mother finally becomes a U.S. citizen, bask in the light of her smile. Bask in another women's glory without needing to snatch any of it for yourself. Bask in the presence of a newborn child no matter whose it is. Walk(or roll,) into a well-tented garden and bask in the colors and the scents and the profusion of textures. Just drink it in. Let the crisp autumn air wash over you; let the serenity of a windswept grassy plain envelope you. When you walk(or roll) into a room overflowing with a sacred hush, bask in it. When everyone in your family is in one room, bask in it. Don't talk, don't question, don't ask, just bask.
