One of the things that I love the most is that animals, like small children, can have so much fun in simple things. My dog, a springer spaniel, was one of them over the weekend. As I was cleaning up my friend's lake house, raking leaves, I found my little puppy's new found obsession, leaves flying through the air for her to jump at. We raked for hours and she never quit her barking, leaping, running, she never stopped. It was like bringing a young child to the beach for the first time and having them feel the waves. Sometimes petrified of them at first, but then infatuated. Jumping over the crests wild and crazy.
I truly believe that all adults have the capacity to feel what young children outwardly express. It would be a different world if many adults show the warmth and exhiliration that children, animals, all pure and untainted. Adults need to find that place in your life.

Heaven
Slicing through the water,
Wind and saltiness in your hair,
Time consuming.
Monotonous but yet SO satisfying.
Skills, tasks,
pushing mentally and physically.
Paddle dabbing,
The conversations,
Nomadic,
Free.
