“So you’ve misplaced your pile of bird call whistles again! I could let you borrow mine, but then later on I would be searching the meadow for them. I thought I raised you to be a responsible four year old! Never mind, the sun’s going down, we need to get home for supper.”

“I’m tired of this diet! There’s not a pair of good tasting items on this list! My heredity guarantees I’ll never be a huge loser. I only wish you would snap out of your dream of felicity that one day your lover will suddenly have the emaciated body of a European model! I think it’s time to part.”

“Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive”.
Funny, it doesn’t seem to bother Donald Trump.

The upcoming journey to the school of his choice would be five hours away by car. Steering himself into a career in astrophysics would be a hefty challenge, but as a university freshman, his dream was alive.

“Chess, anyone?” The old man settled in to the leather chair on the clear chess piece side of the table. This was his usual Sunday afternoon activity and there was always some youngster under seventy willing to accept his challenge.
The ancient library was filled with well read English tomes of adventure. The building also housed rooms of entertainment similar to this one with assorted tables occupied by various chess sets, all unique in their appearance. The old man preferred the clear glass set with forms he could easily grasp and identify.
He reached out to find them all in order, his touch accommodating his failing eyesight. In a few minutes a companion joined the table as his opponent. “Good day, Joseph” and the younger man took his seat. “I see you have chosen your favorite, the crystal.”
Joseph smiled and gave a reply. “Good to see you again, Harold. How’s the family?” The opponent pushed forward his pawn and the old man reciprocated with his own piece.
“Oh, brilliant as ever! The grandson is entering university in Autumn.”
The habitual conversation continued as the two men played their familiar game. An ordinary experience on a Sunday afternoon in Liverpool.

Sitting here in a cool apartment while the temps outside are a sunny 80F, I am contemplating writing something. Not just anything but something good. My mind seems to think I can but my ideas come in muddled bunches, not clear to put down in words. I’m feeling better, on the mend so to speak, and slowly getting paperwork accomplished. Guilt hovers as I can feel the clutter assembled in the still cardboard boxed memories in my living room. Only the necessary accomplished today, maybe tomorrow?

What can we derive from nature’s gift of beauty?
Is everything free for our enjoyment?
Are we even capable of being her caretaker?
Or do we take for granted that it will be lasting?
Even a flowering “weed” needs us to notice, and appreciate.
