00:13Kennedy stared at the ceiling
00:17Coffee gone cold in her hand
00:20All these Tuesdays bleeding together
00:24Like cheap ink on the back of her plans
00:28She said, I thought there'd be thunder
00:31Some sign when my moment began
00:34But the mail still comes and the dishes still dry
00:39And the clock just ticks where it stands
00:42Are we just me over the days
00:46With a few bright insidious times
00:49Laughing in a car park in the rain
00:52The battered traffic lights and tired eyes
00:57If every breath is sent to me
01:00More than a box to take
01:02But I decide
01:04Teach me how to see the sacred
01:07In the middle of an ordinary life
01:18She watched a kid chase a pigeon
01:21Tripped them, burst into grins
01:25Mother's hands trembling slightly
01:28Like she'd almost lost the whole world again
01:32She thought, maybe this is the movie
01:36Not the part where the credits roll by
01:39Just two plastic bags in a grocery cart
01:43And a quiet thank you at the end of the line
01:47Are we just mediocre days
01:50With a few bright minutes stitched inside
01:53Burned toast bills and broken plates
01:57Then one small hand reaching for mine
02:01If every breath is sent to me
02:04More than a box to take
02:07A line to sign
02:09Teach me how to see the sacred
02:12In the middle of an ordinary life
02:33Maybe the point was the waiting
02:36The slow burn, the stop and go right
02:39Oh, the jokes that fall flat
02:43The night's coming back
02:44Just to sit on the edge of the sky
02:49Are we just mediocre days
02:53With a few bright minutes stitched inside
02:56Or are there cracks in everything
03:00Where that quiet holy light arrives
03:04If every breath is meant to me
03:07More than a box to take
03:09A line to sign
03:11That every small forgettable moment
03:14Was the story
03:17The whole time
03:42The life and living series
03:44Five stand-alone stories
03:47Read them in any order
