....of the things that make you happy? I'm not talking about pricey, big, shinny store bought things, but the ordinary everyday kind of happiness. I guess at the top of my list would be Christmas trees. Even in the woods, uncut and pristine I can decorate (in my mind) a tree that has offended in no way other than to be caught in my line of vision. I especially like the kind of evergreens with gaps between their branches and that are perhaps a bit asymmetrical. Oh yeah, and I love the sunlight at 4pm or so in September. Bathing the world in it's vesper light, I'm left breathless and filled with a contentment I can't put into words. Have you seen a bluebird? Oh my heart leaps at the rare sightings of these beautiful birds. One morning a few weeks ago, I saw two in the parking lot at work when I was waiting in my car, listening to the radio postponing the inevitable. My heart sang at that moment, despite their flying away far too soon leaving me with the inevitable reality of getting out of my car and heading work-ward.
I'm not sure what brought these things or the nature of happiness to mind....perhaps I need Christmas trees, September sunlight and bluebirds today to hold onto the fragile threads of "keeping it together-land". Such perhaps are the thoughts of a gloomy Saturday when I so desperately need the sun.....such are the ravages of change....or does "nothing change"?
YOU MUST LISTEN TO THE SONG AT THE END OF THIS LINK.....IT MADE ME HAPPIER-MAY IT BE SO FOR YOU!
