"Paradise has been about
places. It exists in moments.
In connection. In flashes across
time." ~Victoria Erickson
This may be one of the truest
statements I have ever read. In
fact, 'twas only yesterday we
experienced a tad of this reality.
We traveled to a fab park down
south for a fam get-together and
a fond farewell. It was like a
family reunion. We sat with my
guy's x-wife, her sister, and two
of their sons. We talked for hours.
'Twas most wondrous!
Earlier in the day, we stopped to
purchase some items for summer
and found ourselves a few cents
short. It was a tad embarrassing,
all told. The clerk reached into
his pocket and counted out the
difference. Wow! Just WOW!!!
We went on home as we had
things that needed refrigeration.
I packed up some of my special
spice and took it to him. He told
me he loves hot so he'll enjoy it.
I expressed to him how much his
kind gesture meant in a world
that is somewhat awry of late.
Seems to me we hit Paradise
at least twice yesterday!
