Happiness 12-4
owning your very own island; the crowds cheering; discovering the mystery of dark matter.
owning your very own island; the crowds cheering; discovering the mystery of dark matter.
heading out the morning after; being nominated for a peace prize; a money tree in full bloom.
the mysteries of the tide pool; graciously accepting the award; entering the citadel on a horse.
goodbye to all that; retreating to the cave for the winter; a magic hand-mirror.
reaching for the sky; a she-wolf taking care of twin babies; sculling slowly through the village.
our lives entwined; being met at the train; bringing the wood inside before the storm.
walking on the traintracks; the moment before you spoke; nightingale singing right outside your window.
the house on the back of the mountain; waking up after having slept for 100 years; stroking the head of a giraffe.
red and white striped beach umbrellas; the alpacas grazing outside your bay windows; a tiny house in the heart of the forest.
opening a box of crystal flutes; painting the door; resting with a jaguar by a pond in the jungle.
a pile of antique rugs laid out in the sunshine to dry; dressed only in peacock feathers; knowing that the question has to be answered.
Fear turning to awe as the light nears.
kissing her fingertips; great stone lions on the gateposts; arriving on time.
nuzzling the donkey’s nose; “Thirteen Conversations about One Thing”; a strange October light.
the old rose tree filled with sparrows; raising the tent; meeting for the first time.
coming across two golden seagulls; struck by an idea; dancing to a snake charmer’s flute.
seeking ancient wisdom; the hidden door opening into the secret garden; being fascinated.
writing a letter on the softest paper; merrily driving on the open road; the story of the color indigo.
planting the painted fern; the pleasure of company; singing for your supper.
reaching for the brass ring; a mountain erupting; the steps covered in rose petals.
the long walk through the woods to meet up at the old oak tree; bicycling the African continent; entering through the emerald gates.
sunshine pouring through diamond-pane windows; shedding the skin; Chachani and Fatima volcanoes in Peru.
