The Laughter of Children: A Haiku
The noisy sounds of children playing outdoors gladdens my heart during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic
“The body heals with play, the mind heals with laughter and the spirit heals with joy.” — Proverb
Music to my ears
Laughter of children playing
Pandemic be gone
One of the things I missed due to the coronavirus-related restrictions last year was the sounds of children playing outdoors with gleeful abandon. Once the pandemic subsided a bit, it was indeed a pleasure to see and hear kids outside again.
Fortunately, allowing kids to play outdoors is one of the safest activities during the pandemic. Nature and the outdoors are good for the mind, body, and soul for children and adults.

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.
