It is amazing what a simple thing like the smell of fresh morning dew can evoke . The simple Smell of water mingling with earth tugged me by the sleeve of my house coat and transported me into a journey which I did not expect to take this morning. It took me by my hand , from the front porch step and said,"walk with me" through the lush green grass sprinkled with sprays of dew. My yard is so peaceful this early in the morning, my dog even enjoys the peacefulness, she decided to take her own path of imagination as I enjoyed the solitude of the morning air which fills my lungs and and washes over me with warmth.
Through the corner of my eye I noticed two big cranes with their long legs fishing inside of the lake, the morning's sun playing with the water causing an iridescence of colours. The sound of a red cardinal whistling a beautiful tune translating thanks for yet another perfect morning. The smell of fresh air causing a contentment with existence. But I realised that I had not embarked on this journey alone. Along with me was the Memories which gently prodded me towards a looking glass. Through it, I could see a little girl playing hide and seek with her sister behind a haystack. I could see a beautiful young mother hiding peanut MnM's in the girl's pockets. I could see the entire yard painted in blemish-less laughter of two sisters playing leap frog. Then I could see the the two girls holding their new born baby sister under a tree and giving her promises to love her all the days of their lives.... The looking glass showed me a world where every lock held a different key than it does today.
But I only had one key in my pocket today. Maybe tomorrow it will open a different lock. :-)
