MEDITATION
Grandpa's grape arbor. A shaded retreat for reading, for playing with my dolls or jacks, for a game of checkers with my sister, for helping Grandma shuck peas or for just sitting and doing nothing. I don't remember thinking anything when sitting under the arbor or lying on the grass watching clouds or bugs. Just doing nothing was the activity.

Love this,Adelaide. And it's reminding me of a space I had as a child, an Autumn day, and the first inklings of something beyond - maybe behind - the everyday world. May lead to a haibun soon. Thanks and hope all's well with you.
