Woblett

🌀 ZigZag Tricks

Stone Giggles

Moon Circles

Stepping stones seem to giggle

just before the breeze finds its

footing.

This morning, five stepping

stones waited beside a little

stream.

The first was feeling especially

wobbly.

It had turned circles with the moon

last night.

The second was trying very hard

to look important.

It was pondering the dewdrops.

The third had become wonderfully

distracted by a dragonfly.

The dragonfly didn't mind.

The fourth simply enjoyed

being stepped on.

The fifth couldn't stop smiling.

Nobody knew why.

Woblett stepped onto the

first stone.

It wobbled.

So did Woblett.

The creek laughed around

the stones.

Otters would have approved.

The breeze waited politely.

Woblett stood still for just a

moment. The sky was open

for breakfast.

Not because Woblett was afraid.

It was listening.

The next step felt different.

Then another.

Soon the wobbling began

sounding remarkably like tap

dancing.

The stepping stones seemed

delighted.

The creek agreed.

Creeks usually know when to cheer.

By the time everyone reached

the other side, the stones looked

wonderfully pleased with themselves.

A butterfly nodded and clapped.

Mountain goats understand this.

If your feet ever arrive a tiny

moment before the rest of you...

Woblett has probably wandered

through.

The trail never mentions it.

It smiles anyway.

And the moon smiled upside down.

The earth whispered, "Wheee."

And there are popsicles on

Thursdays.

Stepping stones

expect a little wobbling
