I slowly opened the door to her napping room. She was sitting up in her summer dress, her head turned back and up to meet me and she grinned her two-tooth grin with such vigor I made an audible "ohhhh!".
She melts me. She has a happiness that spills.
Today was one of those days life feels right. I think the earth feels happier as it warms. We had lunch with a friend and her son at Roots Cafe. A hard life she'd lived and is living but on this beautiful April afternoon the hard was forgotten.
Dorius, Magdalena, and I went for an evening run through the park and up to the mouth of Parley's canyon, overlooking the entire valley. I'm pretty sure I could see everyone in it smiling.
Then dinner was a plate full of fresh colors, fruits and vegetables my body thanked me for feeding it. And one chocolate bunny to round it out.
“sweet spring is your
time is my time is our
time for springtime is lovetime
and viva sweet love
(all the merry little birds are
flying in the floating in the
very spirits singing in
are winging in the blossoming)
lovers go and lovers come
awandering awondering
but any two are perfectly
alone there's nobody else alive
(such a sky and such a sun
i never knew and neither did you
and everybody never breathed
quite so many kinds of yes)
not a tree can count his leaves
each herself by opening
but shining who by thousands mean
only one amazing thing
(secretly adoring shyly
tiny winging darting floating
merry in the blossoming
always joyful selves are singing)
sweet spring is your
time is my time is our
time for springtime is lovetime
and viva sweet love”
― e.e. cummings
