Simple Things

I was sitting in the backyard today, watching the world go by.  The birds were singing their different tunes. A big white egret was walking in the lake shallows looking for food.  Overhead an amazing group of about 20 hawks were soaring in a large circle, slowly and gracefully gliding around.  It was serene.

Then I saw this bubble come by the fence....and was barely able to snap a picture of it.  Just a small bubble dancing in the wind.  That's when I heard the little kids on the other side laughing without a care in the world.  To them, that bubble was the most important thing going on.

Thankfully, they don't know what's going on in the world right now.  They are content to find joy in their backyard.  They don't need the hub-bub of the modern age; they have each other....and their bubble.

The virus will be gone one of these days and we will go back to our lives.  When things start getting hectic as I'm sure they will, I'm going to remember that bubble and how I felt when I got to experience its magic.
