Finding solace

It is instant bliss when I’m down about the world and I go for a run with my wife, slow and easy going, chatting as we go, even though there’s light rain, and then down by the river we know where the common kingfisher lives. Or are there more than one? Today we saw it twice (or two of them), and the second one dove into the water twice, and it ate a little fish.

Those minutes spent there standing and staring, then slowly moving along the path, watching as it moves from lookout to lookout down the creek… I love those moments so much.
