If, in one day,

you can fly in order to land in the new,

see a horizon of warm blue-white wonder

beyond a river-ocean of natural, life-giving water,

gape at buildings giving sensual satisfaction away free,

share jokes with those as serious as yourself….

hear the echoes of an aspiration to understand

and vow to make mistakes the basis of future learning….

then you have had a busy day

a tiring day

a  fulfilling day

and a day that may yet

shape a century.
