Happiness 3-24
a twinkle in her sky; knowing just the right words to say; a slow movement.
a twinkle in her sky; knowing just the right words to say; a slow movement.
rowing across the lake to a friend’s house for lunch; hundreds of shootings stars overhead; lying in each other’s arms in the grass.
lost in the sunshine; the rope bridge spanning the abyss; granting the wish.
the ram showing you the way out; sleeping in a hammock in the cloud forest; gasping for joy.
the mouth of the flower; transforming words into stories; being greeted with the phrase, “Hail, fellow, well met!”
gazing down on the city; in the pouch of the kangaroo; skipping stones.
seeking the answer to the mystery; a long, quiet afternoon; a friendly trickster.
purple; becoming a feather and learning to float; wild horses scraping the snow away in search of spring grass.

planning to meet by the windmill; waking up and finding your shoes filled with loose diamonds; the face of the cliff.
inventing the wheel; snow-soaked earth; getting into the boat without asking where it’s going.
dawn painting the sky yellow and pink over the desert; climbing into the balloon and lifting off; watching the osprey dive.
what lay hidden under ice; falling asleep with the windows wide open; playing the six chords on the guitar.
being on the fence; swinging in the vines in the jungle; setting off before dawn.
writing late into the evening; the sheaf of parchment; opening the trapdoor overhead.
a mysterious sand painting; adding the last magic ingredient into the cauldron; graciously pouring the tea.
just the right wrench; standing on your friend’s shoulder and looking over the wall; emptying your pockets.
heading into the city; emptying the shelves and starting new; wrapped in gold-and-silver threaded silk.
dawn on the docks; smoke from the peace pipe circling overhead; two weeks with the hermit in the forest.
a piece of the sky; quietly rowing so no one will hear; peering out over the edge of the eagle’s nest.
the stories stones tell us; the owl bringing you the feather; encountering the shaman.
being here now; the hardened heart softening; season of mud.
what lay under the snow; bells ringing out the news; cantering into the forest.
