Palemale on the Great Lawn early Thursday morning...
On a sunny day like this there are a lot of happy things you can do...
you can pretend you're a bunny rabbit and jump as high as you like...
you can catch some air in your hands...
or you can just sit on quietly on and enjoy the sun on your face...
you can tip-toe through a field of dew-covered grass...
or maybe you can scoop up some wind and mix it up with some sunshine...
and then you can pour the whole mushy mixture on the ground and splash in it with all your heart...
you can wiggle your toes in the soft wet grass...
then do a quick count to make sure your the little piddies all came back home from their wiggling...
you can pretend you're a happy sailing ship on a big green ocean...
or just quietly visit some merry ants who are having a little picnic (ants are remarkable in that they can have a picnic whenever and wherever they please)...
you can have a little race with your shadow friend up to that tree and back...
and then tell him (your shadow), how much you love him...
there are just so many things you can do on a bright sunny day...
...but first you must be free!
Bless you my gentle friend, you who I can hardly look straight in the eye when I pass you each day. No force which can create such beauty as you would ever abandon you completely to such an unhappy place in this beautiful world..
