Looking at the world from a park bench

Saturday I packed a sandwich in my camelback and set off into the hills in the heat of the day. Eventually I found a bench in the shade of a gnarled old oak tree and sat and ate my turkey and Brie on ciabatta. The I lay on the bench awhile, observing the leaves on the tree, it's knotted branches and the blue sky above, while the sunlight played games with the tree above me. I looked out between the park bench slats and was quiet. And the world around me came to life. The groundhogs came out of their holes, the woodpeckers knocked on trees, and in the distance I could even hear the cry of a peacock. (?!)

The world is a lovely place full of surprises.
