Happiness, Like a Slice of Summer Sunshine
They’re making us a sunshine sandwich this weekend: one slice of radiant sun, piled high with fresh greens and whipped clouds, between two freshly baked days of rain.
It’s a yummy treat, common in this part of the country as spring comes to a close.
We’re especially fond of the filling. It tastes like summer, warm and spicy on our tongues. And we’re careful not to let a morsel of it go to waste. We inhale the bright fragrance of it. We let its flavor roll around in our mouths for awhile. We savor it long after the last bit of it is gone.
It’s kind of like the way you meet a slice of happiness, tucked between slabs of ordinary days and made all the brighter by its contrast with them. You just surrender to it and let the taste of it flow through your whole being, filling you with its gladness and joy. And when the last bit of it fades into ordinary again, you carry the feeling of it with you and it satisfies your mind and nourishes your soul.
