Things I Like — Dappling
Dappled things speak of peace.
The warm flank of a milkcow. The fuzzy mottle of a black and white bunny.
The mix-and-mingle of light and shadow streaming through an apple tree in full bloom.
My favorite: the shimmer of refraction skirting a pool floor or sand bar, twisting tendrils of brightness against the cool depths. A lullaby for the eyes, soothing and entrancing.
It’s magical. Invisible things dancing matter-of-factly, clearly visible and clearly comfortable with this contradiction.
It’s okay, they say, everything is going to be alright. (Let your invisible things meander in this place too.)
