Puddles

When we are young, we seek out the puddles. As we get older, we generally shy away from puddles. We don't want to get our feet or clothes wet. We don't want to create a scene. We choose to "act our age" instead.

What is it about a puddle? What makes a puddle so nearly irresistible to play in? Those wonderfully fun collections of water just begging for someone to disrupt with their feet or bicycle tire.

It is hard to match the pure joy of splashing in a puddle. Nothing matters except how high and how far the splatter goes. Nothing else matters.

I want to break free or perhaps let go of the voices in my head that say I shouldn't do that or I'm too old to do that. I want to feel the joy and freedom of those moments when nothing else matters.

I want to splash in more puddles.

Create your life.
