- A night full of sleep and an unresented morning
- Early morning messages that change the day’s agenda
- Together giggles to lighten a disturbing situation
- Handwashed clothes dripping into floor puddles
- Picnic lunches that are fun to pack and fun to eat
- A little boy casting shadows on an unceasing stream
- Giddy laughter and story-telling from children having fun
- A clock with a slow heartbeat
- Maps covering the wall
- The trickle of filtering water
- Creamy iced coffee
- Honesty that comes genuinely but not harshly
- The far away booms of fireworks
- Black mountain silhouettes
- A thousand nooks and crannies of foothills
- The delight of gift-giving
- Old city streets baked in the sun
- Cool tile floors
- Days that don’t end in the woes I had imagined
- Plan B when Plan A vanishes
