Shedding unconscious delight


How do you take a picture of perfume? This morning, on my walk to the lake, I followed a mother, child on her front in a snugly, dog at her side on a leash, and loose on the thick moist air in her wake a most delicious perfume. I followed as long as it was polite, enchanted. When we bathe ourselves in heavenly sweetness through the practice of contemplation, we are perfuming ourselves, readying ourselves to shed delight.
