when you go to the carnival
and have finally grown enough
to reach
the spectacular rides level
that is winning.

I had a field day.
field day with the grandies
water, sweat, smiles, scrapes, popsicles
and absolute fun, all of it.

content.
while spending the better part of a morning
at the salon
and at the having my hair washed stage
a woman I’ve never met
hair in foil for highlights
wrapped in a black robe
walked up
and stood before me pointing
then proclaiming,
to the entire salon:
“now here is a woman who is contented and relaxed,
taking 10 minutes, all for herself!”
something about my demeanor
must have given me away
for she was spot on.

- a handful of wildflowers
- a pine bough
- birds
- meadow grass
- quiet beauty
- a heart-shaped stone
- stone steps to sit on and watch the river

you never forget.
how fun it was
to see two very different adults
each alone
riding their shopping carts
through the parking lot
one as I made my way into the store
one as I made my way out
both were full of glee.
