What Makes Me Happy?
It would be the shifting shades of blue
As a deep lake viewed from a kayak.
If happiness were a taste
It would be just like clam chowder on a chill, rainy day.
If happiness were a feeling,
It would be as relaxing as sitting surrounded by tall trees.
If happiness were a smell,
It would be sweet as old-fashioned roses
creating a carpet by my deck.
If happiness were a sound,
It would be the uniquely haunting call of a loon
celebrating a New England summer.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual
"bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of
interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny
story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing
events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human
experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed
down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local
communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When
you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better
understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better
understand ourselves.
