December 10, 2016 in The Richness of Each Day, December 2016

The richness in this day was when I walked the children’s bike trail that runs behind my house, and saw the city’s water processing plant office and the back of a church with a huge yard where a Christmas festival was being held for children today. I’ve lived here a month, now, and this is my first venture behind the house. It was a totally different world back there, people walking their dogs, strolling with cell phones in hand, children and parents biking, birds in the trees, views of the back of my neighbors’ homes…some fences, then my six foot fence. A bit as if I had been living in Plato’s cave–I had no idea!

Another metaphor.
