Break Out!

Mid-week, I took a break from routine, took a walk, broke my rhythm. I’d caught the break of day with my camera. It was time to break away and feel the heat. I was in a great mood, making my way to the local coffee shop.

I truly was thinking of taking breaks
making breaks
“You deserve a break today.”
breaking away
breaking with tradition

bad breaks, lucky breaks
breaking the ice
putting on the breaks
breaking down walls, breaking habits,
breakfasts and coffee breaks

Weird word games while walk aren’t exactly breaking news.
“That’s the breaks.”

The coffee and conversation with my friend were delicious. I headed home in the sunshine with thoughts of that meeting in my head . . . the earlier word games had been put away.

Then I passed three lilies — no fence could hold them/ They were making a break for it.
(As far as I know, not a blade of grass was injured in the lily-jailbreak.)

This weekend I’m planning to take a . . . nap.
