Sunburnt cattails whip in the breeze.
Distant child laughter is heard as they go jumping into a pool.
The kids are soon to go back to school.
A tractor hauls some hay bales in its scoop.
Anxiety is nowhere to be found and all is at peace.
All the new subdivision construction has ceased for while,
and for a few simple moments, the world seems to be free of any guile.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

It's the simple moments where we find a peace and contentment , and it's His plan for us to live with that peace. May the simple moments become longer and more abundant . 😊😇 “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27 NKJV
That one feels like a breath of summer freedom! Sometimes the smallest pauses in life like cattails in the wind carry the biggest peace :)
