Act as if

A leaf fluttered in through the window 
this morning, as if supported by 
the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the 
fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, 
accompanied me as I walked.

    It is lovely, antidote to overthinking. Balm for the too-busy mind.

    Marylinn, anything that quiets the mind is a good thing for us noisy brained folk!
