Light is All Around Me: Happy

Quote

But this is what I’m finding, in glimpses and flashes: this is it. This is it, in the best possible way.

That thing I’m waiting for, for that adventure, that movie-score-worthy experience unfolding

gracefully. This is it. Normal, daily life ticking by on our streets and sidewalks, in our houses and

apartments, in our beds and at our dinner tables, in our dreams and prayers and fights and

secrets - this pedestrian life is the most precious thing any of us will ever experience.

Backyard hammock

Shelt’ring tree

Summer evening

You with Me.

Your dark head

against my blonde

Arm around me

Chatting on.

There’s our bare feet

There’s your grin

There you made me

laugh again.

Swinging slowly

in the breeze

Rolling shush

of poplar leaves.

Laughter, Closeness,

Calm and Trust

sprinkle down

like pixie dust.

Happiest place
I’ll ever be --

Backyard hammock

You with Me.
