I went to my favorite pond yesterday. The one nearest the stone walkway, and that place where the heron nests.

I saw a little girl there with her father. They were standing along the water’s edge, watching the fish cluster below.

“If you whisper a wish, they’ll all come around,” he smiled. “to carry your wishes back to God.”

The little girl scampered quickly to gain a better view. And, with all the might she could muster in this world said, “I wish for more days like today.”

Without missing a beat, the father tapped the metal railing – the sound, drawing the fish even nearer.

“Oh, Daddy look!” she shouted, “The fishies heard my wish!”

To be moved by something so extraordinarily simple, my darlings – this is the blessing of Love.

These micro-moments of wonderment, fill my heart with peace. And, offer a perfect ‘pausing spot’ to breathe.

I mean, just imagine the silliness of fishies carrying wishes? Though, on the other hand – shouldn’t this be the basis of every single one of our beliefs?

To heck with the logic and scientific mumblings. These are the lessons worth sharing – that, no matter what, love will always find its way.

Even if it is on the tail fin of a fishy 🙂
