Capture the Rapture at Any Age

The miracle of small gestures

These two otters can’t bear to be parted.

I still feel this way about my partner, and it’s been over 40 years.

My vision of paradise is to reincarnate in an ottery tangle with my beloved.

I’m living this dream right now. I live close to a lake which has plenty of warm rocks to sun on. If I was interested, I could also fish.

While I wait to cross the Rainbow Bridge to fully manifest my dream, I'll enjoy the view playing out before me from the bay window overlooking our street.

A bay window is a stage view of life’s joy.

It's a privilege to see how people express their love.

No matter the weather, I see:

• Dog and walkers bonded in lockstep.
• Soloists enjoying their surroundings.
• Bicycle parades.
• Clumps of teens.
• Siblings trailing home from the beach.
• Family caravans with doting grandparents who guide little ones as parents push strollers.

Love looks different on a city sidewalk.
