A Glimpse of Eternity

Today I spent a lovely afternoon in the park with my family; the one I created, not the one I was thrust into. I didn’t realize that going to the park is a possibility with a newborn. My husband and I sat or lay on the picnic blanket, reading while our dear flower napped. We were in the shade of a deciduous tree, the kind that look like their leaves are from a different realm when positioned against the blue sky. Light breeze. Three separate wedding couples getting photographed not too far away. A small artificial brook making music. A harp (no really!). An older couple sitting affectionately on a bench by the pathway. Some small children and their guardians at the thing that looks like abstract art, masquerading as a playground. People in the spring, summer and autumn of their lives. This park where all seasons intersect, is quite dear to my husband and I.
