Today I choked on a dried cranberry, argued, saw a snake, walked for an hour and a half carrying heavy bags because of a missed ride, got rocks in my shoes, and welcomed the breeze when a dump truck went by.
I also went swimming in a warm lake with silky bracken water, played with a cute baby with chubby legs, and ate a marvelous plum in the sunshine.
I wished, while walking down the driveway to work, that something magical would come out of the woods and cross my path. Something that would make misunderstandings and disagreements fade, embarrassed, into the background. A seal on its way back to the water, maybe. Or a sudden swarm of huge blue butterflies. Or a huge frog and an elephant, deep in conversation.
