This Perfect Day.

 

*****

Sometimes I just need to take my cat on a walk, 

just me-n-him. 

That's just what we did, Milo and I, and when it's just him-n-me 

I allow him to choose the route into-and-through the forests. 

The trip up Coyote Hill was a quick one, but once we were out in the woods, 

we slowed our pace, examining the forest floor and the trees, 

listening to birdsong, enjoying the sunshine. 

There was magic in the numbers today — 42F/5.5C -> 72F/22.2C — and the day was 

good and perfect from start to completion. 

There must be something to that thing I have heard repeatedly for the past 25 years: 

I cannot change others, and, I’m not in charge. 

Oh, and this: a New Moon and a totally apropos reading 

with *this* card as the “pull” for my Current Surroundings — The Queen of Pentacles 

from the This Might Hurt tarot deck. 

Nothing is by mistake, and, by golly, it’s a good life.
