Bubbles!

What is it about bubbles? Enchanting, even for grown people.

But most enchanting of all watching children chase them with their noses.

And have them pop in their eyes - a surprise but no real sting.

Isn't it lovely to see a child mix and blend and pull wands through the air like they're catching little bits of other worlds, forming them into glassy orbs.

I know that children marvel and peer inside these orbs, hoping to catch sight of something magical inside... before - plip! the orb is gone.

And do you know how wonderful it feels to pop a bubble on your nose?

Oh, for sunny Easter afternoons to float with bubbles.
