No one writes like this anymore. I need to write a children's book!

[Cian McCarthy @arealmofwonder]

"He thought his happiness was complete when, as he meandered aimlessly along, suddenly he stood by the edge of a full-fed river. Never in his life had he seen a river before—this sleek, sinuous, full-bodied animal, chasing and chuckling, gripping things with a gurgle and leaving them with a laugh, to fling itself on fresh playmates that shook themselves free, and were caught and held again. All was a-shake and a-shiver—glints and gleams and sparkles, rustle and swirl, chatter and bubble. The Mole was bewitched, entranced, fascinated. By the side of the river he trotted as one trots, when very small, by the side of a man who holds one spellbound by exciting stories; and when tired at last, he sat on the bank, while the river still chattered on to him, a babbling procession of the best stories in the world, sent from the heart of the earth to be told at last to the insatiable sea."
~ Kenneth Grahame, 'The Wind in the Willows'

Happy May! It is, hands down, my favourite month of the year. In the countryside all is fresh and new, with a just-laundered look to every tree and hedgerow bedecked in bright leaves and flowers. The birds sing like crazy, the days are warm, and I wish it could last forever.

Kindness has a beautiful way
Of reaching down into a weary heart
And making it shine like the rising sun.
