#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Foliage, Charles River

And did you transform?

I saw the wrinkled path over the river’s surface of the muskrat in the morning swimming toward me. I saw the wrinkle before the muskrat. I saw the quiet movement of another creature out in the golden morning.

And did you make an offering?

I was eager and interested, attentive and present.

And did you write a love letter to a difficult one?

I considered the possibility. I began to feel willing.

And did you play?

I completed tasks and was glad.

And did you give to a person in need?

I gave the small thing she asked for. And she said thank you.

And did you imagine the world from another point of view?

The muskrat swimming, hungry for breakfast, happy I left him alone in the river, his habitat of peace.
