Life Used to Be So Hard

Still is.

But yesterday, as I was out walking around the Little Lakes, I saw the most magnificent German shepherd. She loped across the grass like a panther, or a cheetah -- a huge, glossy, shaggy dog of utter gracefulness and elegance.

I think that I might like a little house, with a German shepherd and two cats in the yard.

I know that ease is gone. But a small house and shaggy friends do not seem like so much to ask for.

Indeed, they do not.

Not too much at all. Make it so.

I know that craving to live in a little cottage with two cats in the yard and having to return to slogging onward.

I know Gerard M. Hopkins is a favorite of yours, too:
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
world broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
Wishing you more unexpected glimpses of a bright wing.

That little house sounds like a good place to me, GG.

Beautiful. Wow, I've never read Gerard M. Hopkins before but I will now. Thank you for that, Debbi.
