I asked the I Ching this morning what I should write about.

It told me to pay attention to the details.

So I took the kids to the playground.

Old spring site,

Stagnant.

Fish,

Algae,

Alligators,

Perch,

Atop,

Ocala National Forest.

Life in Florida Possible.

Saturday afternoon

Saturday afternoon
At 3:00,
The sun was shining
And through the ocean bay
And more and more smiles
Came from all over the world-
And some days were
Tight in the new world
And summer dreams
Came from all over
Again from the new world.

-Melanie Means, age 6
