For getting us across three rivers with day-glow eyes and determined hearts.

For going down the hatch in a flash.

For making it when all other airs of distractions kept coming up short.

What a relief to be of the world, not in it…mind what you absorb.

And back on tract with mountain laurel greetings and golden rays streaming down our path

Whispered into the early morning light because there’s nothing more like trading in expectations for appreciation and gratitude.

As many times as needed.

And looking more lively than ever.

For keeping up with the leggy ones all the way to the end
