Joie de vivre

Truth be told, it was not all that bad. Pas vraiment. Le premier part du dernier jour.

I hung out with mini me mostly. Among other things, i took her out for a long walk in the sun which turned out to be a semi-run on my part, while all she wanted was a leisurely walk. As a compensation, we took a break on the park bench, rather a stony ledge, and perused babies.

Babbling, cooing, conferring children of all ages. An old man playing with a bunch of kids sporting weapons ranging from wood sticks to plastic swords, unperturbed by the fact that his sword was an empty plastic water bottle, making him lose left and right. Dads and moms tending to the littlest ones while the older ones tended to the younger brothers or sisters. Toddlers with earnest faces discussing the next life-altering adventures. Ah man, i could watch them endlessly! The weird things they do, how they all get entirely focused on things in their own little worlds. Worlds where imaginations run wild, mischiefs twinkle and every unexpected fall comes paired with an innate ability to rise.

Hmph! Reminds me of the golden days of my childhood. In hindsight, i should have just refused to grow up!

I won't deny that there exist some uber yumm adult perks though. Eh monsieur j? Vous êtes d'accord? :-P...souvent, j'ai ce rêve de nous, where you stand still ...quand je m'enroule autour de vous, lentement mais sûrement je tombe sur vous, comme la nuit tombe sur son jour...

Oops, no time to be naughty now... mais je vous y dirai un autre temps!
