In a massive hall of pompous busts
And naked marble edge
One must
Take time
To rest one’s head.
For The Daily Post
Casual Pomp
Being in the moment
Satisfaction

My niece took this photo of a boy and his dog several years ago in Charleston, North Carolina. Then and now, it feeds my heart and gladdens my soul. The ageless, timeless, wordless friendship it conveys, the togetherness that needs no explanation, the calm connection of this shared experience, the gentle trust. I can almost feel the soft undulation of the water under the bow, the relaxed balance of both child and canine, the subtle breath of breeze, the deep contentment of the moment, the beauty of the day.

Green Magic
Small child in tight braids under sticker-emblazoned helmet, hands holding on to pink scooter handles, stands at park’s entry: “Mommy, see the trees!”
Mom (typing one-handed on smartphone while pushing the child’s scooter with the other): “Yes, honey, very nice.”
“MOMMY!”
Mom, still on automatic: “Don’t yell, sweetie. I’m right here.”
The kid glances upwards, stamps: “No you’re not.”
Slightly startled, Mom looks up. Frowns, puzzled.
“You in the phone!”
Quick blush. “Sorry hon. I had to return that email real fast.”
“But you missing the best part! Look at the trees, Mommy! They didn’t have leaves and now they have green magic all over! The green magic won!”
Take a look outside!
Take a walk. Find a bench. Breathe in spring.
And you’ll see … just how right:
The green magic made a most magnificent entry.
Luxuriously verdant
It utterly, certainly, brilliantly won!
