Performance

Motion's mementoes -- 
babe's tiny fingers uncurl
centenarian's eyebrow raised
the sun darting behind clouds
an earthworm's tortuous wiggling 
performers all, a broad panorama --
  seeking approval
  glimpses of meaning

Those precious daily moments that catch our eye that we often take for granted. Tom

'New experiences' can often be what we've always overlooked before. Thanks for the insight, Tom. Happiness, Gershon

Ooh...you have some cool imagery here. To see the simple things that touch our hearts in a big way. I rewatched a video from last May of my grandson scootering down my street (he was five). He was chasing a butterfly. At the end he turns around “Aww...it flied away.”
