(notes from Tuesday)
If one could buy a day like today, all the coffers of the world would be emptied for its purchase. Commerce and conflict would halt and all the citizenry of the great ship Earth would splash out to her seas and shores and lakes and rivers to join in its transcendent beauty.
Businessmen and war mongers and reluctant housewives and greedy politicians would shed their false façades and become again the children they were, when wonder and delight and discovery ruled their days and the weight of care did not burden their dreams. Their true selves. Loving and kind and generous and inquisitive.
Such a day as this, a sky of piercing blue, unmarred by cloud or haze, a languid breeze, the air positively charged, invigorating with an edge of calming coolness. Deep rejuvenating breaths, down to the fingertips.
For us, a family drive. A walk on the sea’s edge. Heart rocks and driftwood. Boys skimming stones. Salmon and chips on Alki Beach. A house of flowers. Bubbling laughter and squinting hugs. Mountains and water and a golden sunset chased by the rise of a perfect full moon.
Could there be a price for this day?
A day for the ages.
A perfect day.
One of the best ever.
