Happiness 1-31
waiting inside the crater;
being a fly on the wall;
turning back into a pumpkin.
waiting inside the crater;
being a fly on the wall;
turning back into a pumpkin.
beyond the blue horizon;
seeds asleep and stirring;
an old-fashioned pantomime.
the reflection in the pool;
hearing harps on the hill of Tara;
exploring the attic.
the origin of wool;
waking up in the top of a tree;
discovering a planet.
sky blue;
entering the cave behind the waterfall;
in the arms of the north wind.
shedding light;
staying out of the fray;
the place of belonging.
being there first;
relaxing into the swells;
sailing to Corsica.
figuring it out;
a gown of flowing water;
strumming the old banjo.
the story behind the windows;
entering the igloo;
a murmuration of starlings.
the golden ball falling into the pool;
hiding under the mushroom;
lots of white petticoats.
tying a knot in the rope;
friendly bobcats;
smoke and stars.
what the scythe means;
growing up;
an owl on your shoulder.

a dog by the ocean;
giving your word;
ringing the bells in the middle of the night.
tasting the sweetness;
the great return;
the crowd erupting in applause.
venturing forth;
a sense of honor;
whispering to the white tigers.
cavorting with goats;
lifting her hair and kissing the nape of her neck;
curtsying to the queen.
the snail crossing the stone courtyard;
an open book;
hearing calm voices.
stone ribbons;
asleep in a cave;
mollified by laughter.
dreaming of summer;
riding the elephant into town;
triumph after struggle.
the moon waxing propitiously;
rain falling on city streets;
a cloak of peacock feathers.
discovering the lighthouse where you planned to meet;
a generous helping;
lovely moments flying past.
eating fresh oranges during a snow storm;
the age of wood;
a roomful of charm bracelets.
