And the sky was blue.

This is life. This is living.

Sometimes the joy is being immersed in something.
Sometimes the joy is observing something beautiful.
Sometimes you dance between the two.

To be on a river,
to be in the mountains,
to be on the sea, by the sea,
to hear the ocean,
the sound of moving water

and the voices of play splashing along harmonious rainbow currents…

this is living.

This is life. And this is a reason to practice gratitude and generosity of spirit; two things the mothers of these children do well.
