‘You made my day!’

can anybody make a day?

‘You changed my life today, no, you really did.’

these words repeated as the hands changed,

as fingers entwined the curls of the dog’s fur –

as hearts saw their world, as if for the first time, with compassion…

can one moment change your life?

perhaps not…

but it can set the wind under your wings –

it can help You soar,

and thus

yes

you can make a day,

new.

and the crows cawed from the tops of the lamp posts

and the ospreys circled on the thermals

and the joy was palpable.
