Sweet possession


A child dropped his mandarin orange
on the playground sidewalk.
Mom said, “No, don’t pick it up”.
Within minutes it was a glorious feast
for a house fly on an outing. Or,
a beautiful resting place.

  1. Nothing wasted - a mindful observation, Duff. (How's the weather in SF?)

  2. Even the fly seemed quite beautiful. We are bouncing from rainy and chill to lovely warm days...winter won't quite go away and spring can't quite settle in.
