A small diversion on my run
I took a turn on my run today through an empty children's play area.
I could have run past it, and perhaps it would have been the easier thing to do. God knows, it's hard to change a familiar route or pattern. But who knows why, I decided against running past, and instead ran through it, past climbing frames and chasing games and paddling pools come summer.
It was good to get back to these childhood things in the early morning dew; back to young days when everything was now and everything lay ahead and everything was well and the world could be trusted.
And so it is.
