notification thunderstorms from my phone and i recall days at the lake gliding around in the canoe with the lily pads and their bright yellow blossoms cattails swaying in a gentle wind, dragonflies clinging effortlessly and an otter swimming on his back, nibbling on fish for lunch if i could go there today i am afraid i might toss my little storm out into the deepest part of the lake and forget to paddle home
The above was prompted by life and card XXXIX from the Woodland Wardens oracle deck, “The Otter and Cattail (peace)”.
