Scattered Stones

My daughter B says, "I think Heaven is like a non-stop home."

******
The 100 degree sunshine glitters sharply off the red, green, and gold strip-mall Christmas tree ornaments.

******
A woman wrestles a bouquet of lilies and greenery and a large bunch of balloons into a silver subcompact.

******
The bottle caps littering the dirt path gleam the same red as Christmas tinsel.

******
The sprig of rosemary is already working its magic: she is remembering to forget.

******
The man bustles into the counseling office carrying a pair of dun slacks and blowing out a sigh.
