At peace

We decided to take the dogs for a walk tonight after supper. It was almost 9pm and because spring is in the air there is a light breeze and the sun is just going down. We closed the door behind us and off we went. We forgot to check that the door was locked (it was). It was quiet and peaceful, there were people all over (with and without dogs) and the best part was walking on the streets past people's houses that have no burglar bars or curtains. We watched people making dinner, drinking wine, we saw them watching TV, some houses were in the dark and some had all the lights on but nobody was home. We walked through a dark alley. We weren't scared at all. We wished that our friends back in South Africa could experience this. We're at peace.
