A fly kept lighting on me while I was mowing and I have been thinking about life's deep meaning in this event.
A big black fly’s been bothering me. He has been at it this whole day. I just went out to mow the lawn but he thought it was time to play. When I backed the riding mower out he started making his assault. I don’t know why he picked on me I am sure I was not at fault. There could have been just one lone fly it seemed like there were many more but when you’re mowing and swatting there is no time for keeping score. He landed on my nose and ears and returned to my nose again. When he landed right upon my lips I was wondering where he’d been. Now I’ve finished mowing the yard and I’ve put the mower away I have been inside for quite a while wondering where he’s gone to play.

I sat outside a store and became aware of the flower pots in front the store and I thought how it must feel about the attention given to the flowers.
