you wanted from this life, even so?

And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

Raymond Carver (1938-1988)

A small pond reflecting blue sky, scattered fluffy clouds, and surrounding trees, scrub, reeds, and grass on a mild late-autumn day. Wild ducks take refuge here. In the summer, the pond becomes a green meadow.
