Play

I sat for awhile

in the back yard today.

It was a nice day out.

Not too hot, not too cold,

white clouds, blue sky,

and a nice, gentle breeze.

Nala, our rottweiler puppy,

who is now roughly the size

of a horse, kept bringing

me a ball that

she was playing with.

I kept throwing it

for her to chase

and thought about how

really, really good

it feels to play.

So, I spent the next hour

looking at the shapes

in the clouds.

One of the first things

I saw was Snoopy
