At one with wonders

If you want to see wonders, stand still in the middle of a summer meadow and wait for a flash of movement and then follow the movement with your eye wherever it goes, turning as the bright flash of butterfly or bee flits hither and yon until it finally alights on a sunflower or ironweed blossom or tall scraggly weed, and if it never lights but keeps flying you'll still see wonders--the play of light and shadow on a milkweed pod or the deep purple berries hanging like strings of jewels from pokeweed stalks--and the fluttering of butterfly wings and buzzing of bees make you merge with the meadow to become an extension of the sunshine itself.
