happiness; to be dissolved into something completely great

I am spending the week at my grandparent's house, and I am having a lovely time.


There are so many things I hate about this town, like every body's ignorance, but there are some things that I am completely in love with.


I love riding my bike on a trail, and having to stop because a deer is crossing a couple feet in front of me.
I like running running the woods surrounded by sounds of birds and bugs, then coming to a clearing in a cornfield and experiencing absolute silence.
I love walking by teenagers playing a game of softball and being asked to play even though they have no idea who I am.
I love laying in my grandmother's garden at night and looking into the vast sky and not being able to tell the fireflies from the stars.
I love finding a hiding space in the garden and spending all day consumed in the world of my novel.
I love stopping at the dock on my morning run, and talking with the wise, old men who have gone to this dock every morning for their entire lives.
I love napping in the hammock in the shade of the astounding, ancient oak.

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! Look to this Day! For it is Life, the very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence. The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream, And To-morrow is only a Vision; But To-day well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!
