           Happy To Notice

My shadow came 
out to play. She caught up 
with me on the trail. 
Arms swing in rhythm, legs
propel us forward— I am
happy to notice.  

The sun changes— my body
takes shape in front of me 
as we sit on a rock.
Notebook on my lap, pen 
in hand. Space to be. I am
happy to notice. 

Looking out over the trees 
she stood tall, ahead of me.
I lift my arms in praise— what  
a glorious day. Wonder and
miracles all around. I am 
happy to notice.
