Being Alive

Being alive is opening a Christmas gift and finding tickets to EuropeTurning a corner in Paris and spotting the Eiffel TowerFinding the perfect art book for my son in a tiny Parisian shopThat’s being alive.

Whisking under the English Channel in the comfort of a trainSitting mesmerized with my daughter as Wicked plays in LondonSplurging on a silk scarf I’ll be too nervous to wearLunching at the Inns of Court sure that Harry Potter is bound to appear

Standing in the resting place of Chaucer, Shakespeare, and MiltonThat’s being alive.
