When you know just how fragile it all is.
One unexpected move.
One gasp of breath.
One bark of a dog from the distant shore.
And just like that - this magical moment.
It’s over.
Alien Invasion
Aliens from outer space.
Newly landed.
Checking out this blue planet called earth.
To their right - were nothing but cornfields.
To their left - a herd of wild bovines silently grazing.
No earth creatures within view.
Nothing else to do…nowhere else to be.
They continue their march. Forward.

Blinking my eyes. Shaking my head in disbelief.
Reminding myself - I’m still experiencing the world thru the imaginary eyes of a 4-year old.
Little Red Robin
Tap…tap…tapping on my window all day long.
This little guy was just begging for me to stop….to take notice….to listen.
