It’s strange how happiness comes along and catches you up. Sometimes you can make it happen (swim out of your shoes; here I am at Lake Alexandrina; the ducks moved aside) and other times it comes all by itself and lifts you into the heart of your work or play; it makes your son laugh and the bread rise; plans come to pass and last night’s leftovers taste excellent for lunch. (As long as there’s food to be had) hungry and happy are probably friends.

It doesn’t necessarily help you work out how to put links on your website, or how to fiddle those widget things to best advantage, but it gives you patience, openness and good questions.

How long can I make it last? How can I make it last? Can I?
