Well, I’m not happy about it. No sir, not one bit happy about it. All my travel plans have now changed and I didn’t get the trip insurance.
‘I would like to see this happen. It’s on my bucket list.’

I grew up on a farm, so I know about buckets.
They’re crude, heavy, awkward, bang against your legs when you walk. They drag you down in the mud.
I don’t do ‘bucket lists’ for that very reason.
I have dreams and desires.
Those dreams and desires lift me up, straining for the sky, instead of pulling me down in the mud.
There are stars up there, beams of light so wistful they carry me away with their hopes.
I have many things on my dream list.
It’s light as a feather.
