On Diary Writing and Writing Projects

I've been going through my diaries to find my jot-downs for my book on psychoanalysis but found this from May 30, 2016 and, of course, have gotten sidetracked. It wasn't as neat as it is here - just diary scribbling - so I had to drop my "project" - what I came to the diaries for - to work on it. How could I put this aside? Now for the "major project," which will take me to my diaries again.... and so it goes ... 

Annie​ at the Park

       - for Heather, Jonathan and Sue

She closes her eyes, 

tilts back her head -

and feels a slight breeze

loving her face.

This child,

a mere three years old - 

stops in the middle 

of her busy life

to appreciate the wisdom 

she was born with.

She is like a butterfly

stopping for a peak - at

the rest of her day.
