Yesterday afternoon, for almost four hours, I sat
outside on my back deck and worked on my computer. As I sat there, my 40 pounds of cat came and
went. Motor boats droned up and down the
lake. Songbirds chipped and whirred from
the nearby trees. All this as I tappity-tappity-tapped away on my
machine.
Late in the day, fly flew inside my ear. Well, it tried at any rate.
That’s when I noticed the clouds meeting above the
mountains—two lovely cumulous swells merging as they billowed ever higher.
I stopped working and watched the clouds. Soon, I started to see the profiles of faces
blossoming and then kissing in those places where the clouds came together.
Maybe I need start watching television again.
