the wavey reflections of the trees in the water

Because when you feel like you have been born anew and you can't help but share every single thing that makes you feel alive, this happened.

The woodpeckers were having a jam session. As soon as one stopped, another one said "oh yeah? listen to this", and on and on. Marvelous.  I am not sure I have noticed previously how the sound of their tapping varies depending on the size of the tree, or maybe it's the type of tree and the different wood? No matter, my ears were tuned in. 

I heard the lap of the water against the rocks on the sides of the river. Gentle, soft, steady. 

I paused to take a short swing. 

I wanted to paint the wavey reflections of the trees in the water... instead I filed the image away in my brain, and went on my way.
