- The Orange
At lunchtime I bought a huge orange. The size of it made us all laugh. I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave, they got quarters and I had a half. And that orange, it made me so happy, as ordinary things often do. Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park. This is peace and contentment. It's new. The rest of the day was quite easy. I did all the jobs on my list and enjoyed them and had some time over. I love you. I'm glad I exist.
