life as it should be

going for a run, getting lost in the woods
falling in nettles, ducking through brambles
hop-hip-skipping through bogs, leaping bridges that have no planks
startling deer, vaulting fences,
haring across fields, hurtling down hills
sliding down banks, wading through streams
begging a drink of water from a man in castle
before trotting exhausted home again

Not much work was done. Life as it should be.
