The peacefulness of a summer day - gentle breeze - one solitary bird chirps in the distance,
the rattling/ringing of crickets in the backdrop of sound.I've finally decided to once again brave being on my porch, after my awful experience of being bitten by a yellow fly,
which left me fearful of returning to the out of doors.
It is so pleasant to once again experience what I have been missing.
Reading my book about P.L. Travers, creator of the Mary Poppins character and books.
I feel that I, like so many other writer's it seems, must feel things ten times more deeply than most folks do.some quotes:
'Lyndon dwelt on the feelings of melancholy that washed over her at twilight, feelings that anticipated how an adult might feel at the frustration over a day lost, or much worse, a life wasted.'
'She suspected she was not her mother's favorite - Lyndon's role was to be the lover, not the loved. The loved, she knew, could "sit in the lap of time", while the lover had to watch and pray, and grind his own grain.'
Ahhh, I have been missing this.
In the presence of YHWH.Now the chipping of a cardinal can be heard as dusk draws near,
noisier now as other birds join in the birdsong, as day draws to end.
A condor sailing overhead...
I love to watch how they soar and wish that it could be me up there,
sailing on currents of air.

I am too much of a hard headed retired businessman to get into deep, emotional reading. I never read fiction, and seldom anything. College made me read for the first time. lol
It did sound excellent, however. I can handle small doses.

I'm glad you ventured back outside. It is a joy to feel the sun and hear the birds talk and the crickets sing and watch the clouds.
I've always wanted to fly with the birds, too.
I need to see if I can find that book on P.L. Travers. I'd love to read it.
HUGS!!!
