the statue lifting her hand and touching your shoulder; being offered the letter on a silver platter; digging.
the statue lifting her hand and touching your shoulder; being offered the letter on a silver platter; digging.
the seat of your pants sticky and bright from sliding down the rainbow; toys coming to life; a peacock feathers in the sun.
the stream meandering right up to your front door; traveling on the back of Old Sea Turtle; finishing the symphony.
dancing in the gazebo after everyone else has left; the cricket explaining things; rain after intense, hot sorrow.
discovering the underwater cave; seeking justice – finding mercy; crossing the plains before winter.
the owl whispering in your ear; the cactus blooming again; a strange noise that turns out to be a welcome surprise.
sunlight on piles of antique stained glass; gold glitter pouring upward from her palm; dancing during afternoon tea
stretching your arms as high as the moon; lifting the rock and finding a small door; landing on her shoulder.
cake and presents; playing pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey; coming to the end of the trail and deciding to go on.
a circular slant of light; finding yourself transported back in time; the kindness of strangers.
the sweetest crescent moon; papaya salad; stepping onto the gangplank.
her eyelashes resting on her cheeks; exploring the riverbed; being silly.
woken by a crash of thunder; arriving at the temple of Banteay Srei in Cambodia; the grapes ripening.
the horse and the donkey; a series of unexpected events that leads to amazement; curled up on a window-seat with a mystery.
four quartz crystals in a pool of water; opening the drawer and finding a mysterious charm bracelet; the shepherd home from the hill.
setting down the pen with a deep sigh of relief; an island of good luck; tending to your baby llama.
the sweetest moment of all; diving into a mountain lake at dawn; the train pulling out of the station.
the foundation as deep as the steeple is high; partying with treefrogs all night long; flying into the wind.
the birth of the white bison; the stranger taking your hand and leading you out of there; kissing the inside of her elbows.
sunshine on the pomegranate tree; that long talk with a fox in a field; a hand on your shoulder.
the fragrance of Mediterranean fig; wainscotting; transcendence at the bottom of the sky.
holding a mirror up to the sky; swimming to the underwater pyramid at Yonaguni-Jima, Japan; a half-open yellow rose.
