We have a new neighbor. We've never actually seen him but we often hear what I imagine to be his mating call. Like a snoring giant, he calls out with a tediously protracted, descending groan. Bill thinks it is a frog. I imagine something bigger.
This morning as I was sitting my mind was flitting from one thing to the next like an errant squirrel. I thought about my plans for the day, the week, the rest of my life...I thought back on a conversation I had with someone I love...I thought about science and philosophy and the symbology of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland...
Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted. "Yeeeeeooooooow. Yeeeeeooooooow!" My neighbor was calling me back to the here and now. I took a deep breath and took pleasure in the moment.
