You painted such a wonderful picture here Chris that I could almost hear it going "whee whee whee" all the way home.
Or is that little piggies? 😀
Now, where's part two, where you follow it like the kid we have to pretend we are not, lest people talk.
And thank you for the opportunity of using lest in a sentence 😀

I love writing and reading them, yours was special!
That wonderful sense of freedom and no automotive upkeep or taxes to pay;
Oh that I may be a leaf
hanging on a limb
free to travel any lane
whenever I've the whim

the exuberant leaf no longer clinging to the branch ... free at last ... free at last ... yippee ... here I go.
Give me a little breeze and I will dash and dance down the lane.

Perfect image Chris.

I don't know if I understand but this is for me like return to a nature and harmony what we lost during our dwelling at great towns. It's like you captured one moment of one leaf on your footstep and you feeling how your freedom became more real.
