Puddle

Find a puddle
after a rainstorm.
Close your eyes
and dream yourself
as a six-yr-old
dreaming yourself
as a magnificent
and shimmering work of art.
Or as a happy goldfish.
Whether as shimmering art,
or happy goldfish,
open your eyes,
take off your shoes,
place your feet in the puddle,
and splash around.
Notice how thankful your toes are.
