Okay By The Left Field Fence

Hurrying from work to activity to activity to activity, I found myself watching my son’s baseball game from just beyond the left field fence.

Pausing.  Seeing my son in the field.

Absorbing the beautiful Spring evening, I smiled.  Everything was going to be okay.  Breath deep.  Relax.

Yes, my other two boys were there, as well.

One had just finished his math homework.

One had just discovered a huge ant gathering on the sidewalk.

Looking around at the simple beauty of life that surrounded me, I realized something.  Everything was going to be better than just okay.  Life was already good.

The world was at peace and everything was right, just beyond the Left Field fence.
