Thought For The Day
Do you remember
waking up
on a summer day
when you were a child?
I listened to the birds
I mean really listened
Not to identify them
Just to hear them.
There were no plans
Only possibilities
Cornflowers, clouds
Bumblebees, grasshoppers
and tall stems of grass
with a sweet taste.

This is how I imaging waking up on my first day of retirement. But then I wonder if I will still have too much planning and scheduling to have this sense of complete openness to the day.
