we came outside today
with
no
mittens
hats
scarves
neckwarmers
or
snowpants.
just
coats
and
boots.
we discovered
that it had
magically turned into spring.
and
when we said
coats weren’t really needed either
there were
shrieks of delight
and a
mad dash
to peel off those coats
at last
to
throw them down
after the long winter
and
to feel a taste of real freedom once again.

we cannot live only for ourselves.

*this post is dedicated to the brave journalists in paris, recently lost to a senseless violent act, to journalists everywhere, to the freedom of speech and to peace.
found these two down the street
guess the price was too high
even with
that stripy, ratty love seat
thrown in as a bonus.
