The fragrance of fried food.
The armies of fearless ants.
The raucous laughter of seagulls.
The toothy yawn of a tomcat.
The edge of the ocean breaking on the beach.
The trees dancing in the breeze.
The hypnotic colors of campfires.
The wild hair of kids who couldn’t care less.
The view from the airplane window.
The sweetness of water on a parched tongue.
The warm bed on a cold winter night.
The simple pleasures of keeping pets.
The wild dance that’s only for you.
The nights when sleeping is optional.
The welcome tears that fall on the page.
The freedom that one finds in forgiveness.
