Happiness 11-23
kissing under the bridge; a fantastic coincidence; setting up your tent in the snow.
kissing under the bridge; a fantastic coincidence; setting up your tent in the snow.
sliding down the rainbow; a field of wild ginger; wondering about the light flickering in the high turret.
making a promise by moonlight; the flutter of anticipation; feeling for the secret door at the back of the closet.
One day I was browsing in our local library and learned something about the first Thanksgiving that I did not know. As I read it, I was struck by revelation.
our lives entwined; being met at the train; bringing the wood inside before the storm.
the island appearing out of the mist; finding just the right broomstick for your next trip; a stupendous offer.
crossing a field of ripe pumpkins; the face in the bark of the tree; down by the old mill stream.
waiting on the dock at dawn; a new glass slipper; breaking the seal.
meeting after the theater; being blown like a leaf across the field; getting the call that changes your life.
looking down at the world; trading cinnamon for Venetian glass; the words you speak turning into tiny jewels and tumbling into your pockets.
meeting under the winged pine; the stars at midday; elves playing in the dollhouse.
a rare and mysterious discovery; the power of rage; moss and emeralds wherever you look.
dawn after the storm; on a pilgrimage to the mountain of Miao Fen Shan; wrestling with your shadow in the dark.
walking on the traintracks; the moment before you spoke; nightingale singing right outside your window.
the wind a portent of change; the crowds cheering; sleeping with baby rabbits in a burrow.
finding your way home; unopened boxes; the sea turtle taking you to your kingdom under the sea.
gazing up at the sky from a canoe; an encounter with an old friend; fabric threaded with gold.
finally making your way out of the cave; stepping into the mirror; the sails unfurled and filled with the wind.
five praying manthises in a circle; reading the fairy-tale out loud; the door into the buttercup.
