“The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.”

-Joseph Campbell

What nicer way to pass a morning 

Than threading through a sunny meadow

Of goldenrod and cornflowers.

Ambling along,

Following the gambolling, rollicking romp

Of a happy canine companion or two

Exuberantly unleashed,

Under a cerulean sky

When, defying September, summer endures

Distilled, rich and sweet,

And time seems blissfully suspended.
