Strange booming noises were heard by the village residents.

People celebrate in strange ways, the visitors thought.

The next day all was quiet. Streets gently populated with people, cars, cyclists and self-driving cars.

The river was swollen and flowing faster than we’d seen for months

The fruit harvest had been, well…fruitful. The goat’s milk was abundant. The wild greens grew everywhere as if the countryside were a grocery store.

Near the top of the mountain three people were scheming, and the people below them, in the village beside the river, were unaware of the plans that were being hatched.

A hundred years later, everyone from all the neighboring lands wanted to move to the village.

Hoisted by a thin cord made of boiled vegetable strands, the flag flew every day from 8 until 10.

We never saw the soldier who raised the flag, we would heard the passage of music that always proceeded this, and run toward the fort, but the flag was already fluttering in the ever-present wind by the time we arrived.

We were home before 10 and it was too far to go back to see the cord pulling the flag down towards te ground.

Daily challenges are fine and dandy.

And, so was the flag.

The choices may vary according to season. 

Thank goodness!

But it’s always fine to have a sunny day!

You can travel to snow, bad weather, seedy neighborhoods and more, if you wish. 

Why live in the “mirror of bad” if you don’t need to?

Seems better to stay afloat and go help when you wish, by being in a good state to do so. 

Looking up, taking the higher ground.

How being Liked has changed over the years.

From a smile at sunrise, to a bow at the dock, we are thanked and acknowledged.

Singing the praises without any religion.

Keeping in step. 

Strike the pose. 

Listen to none of it – ‘if it don’t rhyme it ain’t broke’, said the bicycle to the spoke.
…..

The game plan. 

Children do not have plans for games, they play. 

On second thoughts, wasn’t the first one correct? 

If a bright light seeps into the city, delight in the warmth of the sun. 

Your favorite gallery shows the best things when you look at the program guide, but it’s better to get the best of enjoyment when you visit. 

What you find is what is best.
